Text Formats

The 'Text' format allows you to add a prefix or suffix to string data. The special tag '{0}' acts as a placeholder for the actual data.

Example 1:

Consider a text column containing the following values:

Annie

Eric

Robert

Sue

The text format “Employee name: {0}” will display these values as follows:

Employee Name: Annie

Employee Name: Eric

Employee Name: Robert

Employee Name: Annie

Example 2:

Consider a text column containing the following values:

NJ

NY

CA

AZ

The text format “-{0}-” will display these values as follows:

-NJ-

-NY-

-CA-

-AZ-
