Dynamic file name creation with formula

PDunn

Current formula is below. I get an extra hyphen between project name and size if the row is a level 2.or 3. I can't figure out how to not have an extra hyphen. Not sure if I need to add OR statement so it looks at each level then pulls the correct information. The file name should be Job#_Project Name_Size

=IF(Level@row >= "3", INDEX(ANCESTORS([Job #]@row ), 1), [Job #]@row ) + "_" + IF(Level@row >= "2", [Project Name]@row , "") + "_" + IF(Level@row = "1", [Project Name]@row , "") + "_" + [Size (WxH)]@row

Result: PRAFI_001207_DOM25_Breakout01_RetractableBanner__24x81

Try moving the last underscore into the IF for level 1:

=IF(Level@row >= "3", INDEX(ANCESTORS([Job #]@row), 1), [Job #]@row) + "_" + IF(Level@row >= "2", [Project Name]@row, "") + "_" + IF(Level@row = "1", [Project Name]@row + "_", "") + [Size (WxH)]@row

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

Try changing all the "_" to something else for each so you can easily see where the issue might come from.

Make sense?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!
