How do I combine two single line fields using a formula field?
You can use Zoho CRM formula fields to set up fields that can populate dynamically calculated data based on the values returned from other standard or custom fields. For example, you want to combine the First Name and Last Name fields in the Contacts module:
- Go to Setup > Customization > Modules and Fields and select the Contacts module.
- Click on the layout you want to use and drag and drop the formula field onto the layout editor.
- Enter the details as follows:Field label: Full Name
Formula return type: String - We use the 'concat' function to combine two string values. Insert the following expression: Concat(${RefContacts.First Name},' ',${RefContacts.Last Name})
