Concatenate with Date Formatting
Can someone help me with this formula? I'm getting an error and haven't been able to figure out the issue. Here is the format I'm looking for:
Customer Legal Name.Letter Type.Day Month Year
=[Customer Legal Name]@row + "." + [Letter Type]@row + "." + DAY([Send Letter Date]@row + " " + IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 1, "January ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 2, "February ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 3, "March ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 4, "April ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 5, "May ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 6, "June ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 7, "July ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 8, "August ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 9, "September ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 10, "October ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 11, "November ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 12, "December ")))))))))))) + " " + YEAR([Send Letter Date]@row))))
Thank you in advance!

It is because you have nothing in the Date field. Start the whole thing off with an IF statement to only run it if the date field has been filled in.
=IF([Send Letter Date]@row <> "", [Customer Legal Name]@row + "." + [Letter Type]@row + "." + DAY([Send Letter Date]@row) + " " + IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 1, "January ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter ...................................YEAR([Send Letter Date]@row))

Remove a closing parenthesis from the end and use it to close out the DAY function. Then you are going to need to completely remove two more closing parenthesis from the very end. The formula should end with just a single closing parenthesis.

The system is still adding another ) at the end. This is what I ended up with. Any thoughts?
=[Customer Legal Name]@row + "." + [Letter Type]@row + "." + DAY([Send Letter Date]@row) + " " + IFERROR(IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 1, "January ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 2, "February ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 3, "March ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 4, "April ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 5, "May ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 6, "June ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 7, "July ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 8, "August ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 9, "September ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 10, "October ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 11, "November ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 12, "December ")))))))))))) + " " + YEAR([Send Letter Date]@row))

My bad...that was an error. Here's the corrected version. I'm getting an "Invalid Operation" error.
=[Customer Legal Name]@row + "." + [Letter Type]@row + "." + DAY([Send Letter Date]@row) + " " + IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 1, "January ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 2, "February ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 3, "March ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 4, "April ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 5, "May ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 6, "June ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 7, "July ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 8, "August ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 9, "September ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 10, "October ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 11, "November ", IF(MONTH([Send Letter Date]@row) = 12, "December ")))))))))))) + " " + YEAR([Send Letter Date]@row)

Have you confirmed that the [Send Letter Date] field is in fact set as a date type and houses actual dates?
-
Yes, I have.

Let me know if anything else will help.
