Referencing Multi-Select Dropdown in a Formula to Get Elements On One Line

SoS | Dan Palenchar

Hey everyone,

By default, if you a cell in a multi-select dropdown column with more than one option selected and then copy/paste that cell or reference it in a formula, each element is pasted on a separate line, like this:

Is it possible to get all the elements on one line with commas, like this?

Thanks!

Yes. Try something like this...

=SUBSTITUTE([Multi Select Column]@row, CHAR(10), ", ")

CHAR(10) (line break) is the delimiter used by default in multi-select columns, so we use the SUBSTITUTE function to replace that with the "comma space" delimiter that you wanted.
