      Hi RobElliott 

       

      thanks so much... already a bit better... if i use

       

      =[Location]&"-"&[Title]

       

      i still get an error. if I use for example =[Likelihood]&"-"&[Title] it works... what is the difference?

       

      the "Location" is a Dropdown the other are normal cells with numbers and / or text... can this be a Problem?

        It works fine with a choice column, or a combinatin of choice and other columns, so there must be soemthing else causing that problem.
