For instance, how can I make the column only show me the last 4 digits within the column itself. So that we can enter the last 6 digits via a Form, but it only shows the last 4 digits within the sheet.

=RIGHT([Last 6 of VIN]@row, 4)

The data entered via the form will be your "helper" column. You can hide it on the sheet. What you'll look at on your sheet will have this formula in it to clean it up to just the rightmost 4 digits.

Hi @ivanlopezb

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=RIGHT([Last 6 of VIN]@row, 4)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Hello, thank you for the responses. I get an error that says #CIRCULAR REFERENCE. I type it into a cell within a column and then switch it to column formula but get that error. Thank you
