Clickable email link to Beast Mode field
Hi,
I want to make a clickable email in a table. The email field is a formula, however, and I can't get the formula to validate.
The email field I want to be clickable is "PrimaryContactEmail".
Formula for PrimaryContactEmail:
Case
When Length(`ProcessorEmail`) = 0
Then `OfficerEmail`
Else `ProcessorEmail`
End
I tried to create a new field "PrimaryContact Link" with the following formula:
CONCAT('<a href="mailto:',`PrimaryContactEmail`,'">',`PrimaryContactEmail`,'</a>')
But when I select the column name "PrimaryContactEmail", the Case formula is inserted instead. If I type the column name in, the validation check says "A column in this calculation does not exist".
How can I get the email to be clickable?

Thanks! I just needed to add the case statement one more time to get the email address as the verbiage for the clickable link.
This is what finally worked:
CONCAT('<a href="mailto:',(Case When Length(`ProcessorEmail`) = 0
Then `OfficerEmail` Else `ProcessorEmail` end),
'"target="_BLANK">',
(Case When Length(`ProcessorEmail`) = 0
Then `OfficerEmail` Else `ProcessorEmail` end),
'</a>')0

AJ, "A column in this calculation does not exist" says it all. there's a column that doesn't exist. if i had to guess your CONCAT is not concatting the way you expect it to, probably a mix up between " , ' and `.
build your concat statement without the case, and slowly add pieces of the HTML / concat statement until you get a hyperlink that works. THEN lastly sub in the CASE statement.

Thanks jaeW_at_Domo.
I tried your suggestion with another (non-formula) email field ("ExecutiveEmail") & got it to work. But when I switch out to the Case statement where the `PrimaryContactEmail` should go, the ExecutiveEmail shows up, but when I click on it, a blank email opens with no address on it. (formula below)
Can we not use formula fields?
CONCAT('<a href="mailto:',
(Case When Length(`ProcessorEmail`) = 0
Then `OfficerEmail`
Else `ProcessorEmail`end),
'">',`ExecutiveEmail`,'</a>')0 -
concat(
'<a href="mailto:', case when rand()> .5 then '[email protected]' else '[email protected]' end
,'?Subject=Hello%20again" target="_BLANK">Send Mail</a>'
)both of these work fine. are you certain your fields don't contain blanks?
CONCAT(
'<a href="mailto:',
(Case When Length('[email protected]') = 0 Then '[email protected]' Else '[email protected]' end)
, '" target="_BLANK">', '[email protected]','</a>')Jae Wilson
