Sharepoint List - Single line of text starts with +49
Hi there,
is there a way to define in an already created column "phone-number" which is the type (single line of text), that if a new assett is created, the value in the column must contain or start with"+49"?
I tried to use this formula:
=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("+49",[phone-number])), "OK", "Not OK") |
but it doesnt accept the synthax.
It seems like this synthax is only accepted if the type of column is calculated (from other columns) but I dont want to calculate from other columns I just want that the typed in value with a new assetts only accepts values if the "+49" land code is included.
can someone help or explain me this?
thanks
Its working now, I inserted the formula into the web page UI of the list and selected the column, as shown in the screenshot
=WENN(LINKS(Rufnummer;3)="+49";WAHR;FALSCH)Formula is working correctly:
MichaelW Use column validation formula like this:
=IF(LEFT([Rufnummer],3)="+49",TRUE,FALSE)As you are using German language, you will need to use semicolons instead of commas like:
=IF(LEFT([Rufnummer];3)="+49";TRUE;FALSE)Output:

MichaelW It is working fine for me with English language SharePoint site.
Can you try using this once:
=WENN(LINKS([Rufnummer];3)="+49";TRUE;FALSE)Make sure you are using correct name of your column in place of Rufnummer in above formula.
