SharePoint calculated column not updating automatically
Dear All I need some help to understand the calculated column feature on SharePoint as the formulas are not calculating the values automatically and/or they are incapable of reading information in the reference columns. May I clarify on the following: i) Formula Syntax - Do all column names have to be expressed with square brackets in the formula dialogue box? In the formula dialogue box, reference column names will be expressed in square brackets when first entered, but if I were to return back to the page again, the reference column names will not have the square brackets. I'm unsure if this caused the formula to stop working. ii) Formulas are not picking out the data in the reference columns as expected For example, I made a calculated column to pick out the folder/file names in the document library, where formula for calculated column = [Title]. Surprisingly, SharePoint is unable to return the exact text string in "Title" and it will only respond when I make a change to the folder/file names. Calculated columns also failed to respond when I add in a new folder/file name. iii) Is it possible for SharePoint to perform the calculations automatically? For instance, how do we ensure that the calculated columns are updated whenever the SharePoint page is loaded? (just like in excel, where formulas can be configured to calculate automatically?)
Calculated Column - Sharepoint
HI, I'm new to SharePoint. I have created a list which has normal fields and a calculated field. The calculated field returns the results once teh form is submitted. However i wan to review the result of teh calculated field and submit the form. I tried adding these field in the form at last, however the calculated field return nothing but blank always while adding an item. Post adding the item, it is displaying the results in the lists. How can i preview the results while adding a new item itself and review teh results. By the way i.m using sharepoint 2010 and sharepoint designer 2013 and infopath designer and filler 2013
