Unable to add a calculated column in Microsoft Lists
Hi! I have tried finding the answer to this on my own, and am now turning to the community. I have started using Lists today, and I am looking to add a calculated column to calculate future dates. However, I am in the "preview" view and don't have any option to add this type of column. This type of column simply does not exist in my options, and I also don't have any column options in the settings view.
I have tried to see if there's an upgrade I need, a different type of account, etc., but have found no guidance. The closest to an answer I received was that I might not have admin permissions, but I'm the only user of my own account.
Can you help me? Thank you!

If you're unable to add a calculated column in Microsoft Lists, it might be due to the "preview" view limitations. Try switching to the classic view or exiting preview modehttps://www.bnolocksmithca.com/locksmith-sherman-oaks/ If the option is still missing, ensure that your account type supports all features and that you're not restricted by permissions. You can also check for updates or use the full SharePoint Online environment, where Lists is integrated, to access all column options.
- Thank you for your response! I figured this was related to the "preview" account. I have searched high and low and haven't found the way to remove this status and upgrade to the full version. Do you have any insight?
