How to include backslash in text formula

Andy Lorance

Greetings!

I am attempting to build a file path including backslashes using a formula.

Example:

Desired results: domain\folder\subfolder\file

Smartsheet formula I'm using: =[Domain]@row + "Folder\subfolder\file"

Results = DomainFoldersubfolderfile

Any ideas?

Hi @Andy Lorance

Try something like this.

Add a so-called helper column.

You can call it directory and add the following: \Folder\subfolder\file

Then you'll use this formula as the main one.

=Domain@row + Directory@row

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
