INDEX (Match) Formula with contact columns
Hello,
I am using an INDEX(MATCH) formula referencing 2 contact columns and it works great. However, when I try to convert to Column Fx it will not let me. Can we not change contact columns into formula columns? Or is the fact I am referencing contact columns in my formula a problem? I am not referencing partial ranges. Appreciate any insight.

It's more likely something to do with the syntax of your formula, because the column type doesn't necessarily prevent a column formula unless the resolution of the formula yields a data type that's not expected for the column properties (e.g., a text value when the column property is set to "Date").
If you can share your formula and the error message, that would help diagnose what went wrong.

I hope you're well and safe!
It should work.
What happens when you try and convert it?
What is your formula?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

There is no error message, simply the Convert to column Fx option is greyed out. Do I need Admin access to be able to do this. This is my hunch as I only just realized I have editor access only.

Yes, only the Owner and Admin can convert to Column Formulas.
Happy to help!
