How to convert a set of Text fields to an Address field

Greetings,

I have a linked table that pulls in CSV data from another system. Included in the data set are 5 text fields that define an address: Address1, Address2, City, State, and PostalCode. I'm wondering how I could go about converting those into a field of type Address either in the linked table or in another table.

I'm dreaming of a Formula-Address field which would support concatenating the 5 fields referenced above -- but alas no such formula field exists. Is there another way?

Thanks in advance.

    I would setup an Address field in the same table where the data is pulled from the other system. Then, create an Automation that runs when a new record is created and have it move the information from your CSV fields into the various parts of the Address field.

      That makes sense, Blake. Thanks for the suggestion.
