Issue with Concatenate formula
I'm currently using the below formula, however it's abbreviating the first name rather than spelling out the whole name. I'm having a hard time identifying what I'm missing within the formula:
=(LEFT([First Name]@row, 1) + "." + [Last Name]@row + "@gmail.com")

=[First Name]@row + "." + [Last Name]@row + "@gmail.com"

Hello, you're formula is taking the first name and going left by 1 then adding a .
=(LEFT([First Name]@row, 1) + "." + [Last Name]@row + "@gmail.com")
This should fix it
=[First Name]@row, 1) + "." + [Last Name]@row + "@gmail.com"

@Cory Page I updated the formula on my sheet and it's still showing an error. I tried to add parenthesis to either end. Could this be an issue with my actual sheet?
=([First Name]@row, 1) + "." + [Last Name]@row + "@gmail.com")

@Cory Page That was helpful! I'm still in my elementary phase of SS formulas so I still need a bit of guidance, which you provided! So thank you!
