I'm trying to achieve something that was reasonably easy in another app dev environment.
I have a table with about 10 records, I want to take all of the rows from that column and join the rows into a single row in a column of another table.
I could do this with the other software using a computed column that used a "joined list".
So far I've looked at REF_ROWS and CONCATENATE, however, I can't seem to get it to work and I'm not sure if it is the best solution using appsheets.
Could you please help?
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you need the contents of the target column to update whenever the source is changed, then make the target column a Virtual Column. It will update on a Sync. I'm not certain if data updates will also affect a change but you can test that.
If for some reason that doesn't work well enough for you, the only other way to make it update automatically is to explicitly update the column through actions when the source changes. If you go this route then use a "normal" column.

how do I combine it with the above solution which is a virtual column generated by "Current Report[Current Comments]"?
I haven't tested this but I believe you can do this:
SPLIT(SUBSTITUTE(Current Report[Current Comments], "#N", "Jase"), " , ")
SUBSTITUTE() returns a text value. SPLIT() is used to return the text back into a LIST of text values. HOWEVER, since you are placing it into a Long Text column anyway, you may not need the SPLIT() portion at all. I would try without it first.
