Formula does not pull in data in output

[richleeb2]

I have an email paragraph in the formula tool, and I want to pull in a data field from another column.  I enter the [name of column] in the body of the paragraph, but it doesn't pull the value and the output just shows [name of column].  What am I missing?

Breaking the main string into 2 parts, with the field inserted between:

If this isn't the issue, please can you provide some extra information and preferably some screenshots, or share your workflow if possible!

Did you breakup the paragraph before inserting the column name?

You have to end the quote and add the data in with a +

If you dont break it, its taking the literal text.
