Manage multiple values in a cell from a dropdown list
Good morning,
I am facing an issue on my smartsheet, i have a column (dropdown list type) that allowed multiple values per cells and i am trying to manage these different values in order to concatenate them the way i want in another cell.
Does anybody knows the way to pick a single value from all of them or even the way the values are managed (separated) in the cell to write a formula ?

Try this:
=[Project ID]@row + "_" + SUBSTITUTE(Categories@row, CHAR(10), "_")

Hi bros,
I have met this issue and found that there is a line feed character CHAR(10) between the values. You can replace it with "_" using the following formula in the Codification column. Hope it works for you.

To explain my current situation, you will find bellow a simple exemple about what i am trying to achieve :
The codification is a concatenation of Project ID and Categories with "_" between them, but in the case of multiples categories i did not find a way how to consider each of the value. For exemple line 4 i am trying to have 4_A_C as codification rather than 4_A C.
In order to find a solution, i have tryed to understand how the values are considered by smartsheet so i have created two more columns (simple and wrap) which are the same (=Categories@row) but the view/display is different.
