Just to add, if your Case Manager field is a User field then, try UserToName formula.UserToName([Case Manager])

It says "This formula is incompatible with this field being marked unique

My date field was a Date &amp; Time field. I changed it to just "date" and it works. I made a dedicated time field and included it into the formula. Thanks

Hi Steph,I would suggest trying something like the formula below without the conversion. If it is a formula text field it should force the values to convert. Then as Gaurav mentioned you may need to adjust to UserToName if that is a user field that would instead show an email, etc.&nbsp;[Appointment Date] &amp; " " &amp; [Provider Name] &amp; " " &amp; [Case Manager]&nbsp;This should allow you to string together those three fields with a space between each one. You can also switch out each " " for a "-" or ":" if you wanted a character between each part of the entry.&nbsp;
