Add quotes to comma separated Collection column

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I'm importing to a collection from an excel table. 

 

Text Column: Tags

Format in excel: tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4

 

Needs to be: "tag1", "tag2", "tag3","tag4"

 

I've tried split and concatenating but can't get it to work! How do I transform that column (or add a new column) during the import?

    This would be the basic function to do this. You'd substitute the hardcoded "tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4" value with a reference to your input field.

    With({valConcat:Concat(Split("tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4", ","), """" & Result & """,")},
     Mid(valConcat, 1, Len(valConcat)-1)
    )

    Thank you - and how would I build that into the Collection?
