Hi, how can I add text to an existing text field?

Marcegon

I am trying to set up a formula to add " / should be x" if the current status field is "Budget approved". 

 

Input

Budget approved 

 

The output would be:

Budget Approved / should be x.

Hi @Marcegon,

 

Try this 

IF [Input] = "Budget Approved"

THEN [Input] + " / should be x"

ELSE [Input]

ENDIF

 

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Lelia

Thank you so much.  This worked.  How can I change the added text to red font?  I am new in Alteryx, so I am still trying to figure things out.  Thanks again.

Hi @Marcegon

 

I don't think you can change the font colour in the result, unless you are using one of the Reporting tools.

 

Cheers,
