Format only part of a concatenated string

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Is it possible to format only part of a concatenated string? I've got a couple of fields I'm putting together, so it looks like 

 

Concatenate(Topic &" - "& Description)

 

I want to bold "Topic" and keep "Description" normal case. If it weren't a formula, I know I could do it with an HTML text box, but it appears that the HTML box won't allow me to use the formula. Am I correct that I'm constrained here?

    @sloughcow first of all the right syntax for this Formular would be

     

    Concatenate( Topic , "- ", Description)

     

    This would just concatenate two strings. This has nothing to do with text styling.

    To achieve this you have to use the html control and apply a valid html syntax for that.

    @PowerRanger Magic! Thank you so much. 

     

    Here's how I got just the topic to be bolded:

    Concatenate("<b>",Topic, "</b> - ", Description)
