How do I add text to a formula

My current formula below works, and returns the value, 25%. But I want to add specific text to the value returned. So it should read, 25% - Milestone 1, or Milestone 1 - 25%

=INDEX({Milestone 1 - Preliminary Design Range 1}, MATCH([Activity ID]@row, {Milestone 1 - Preliminary Design Range 2}, 0))

Thanks.

Hello @fb_smd<\/a>,<\/p>

If it is a field that you have to request be updated after a form is submitted, I would suggest creating an automation to send out an update request with the field(s) that need to be filled out. If, however, it's not consistent fields or information, then I would create a report for the submitters to access so they can edit\/add information as needed.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":110805,"type":"question","name":"referencing cells","excerpt":"Hello, I have notice anytime I try to reference a column in a formula it doesn't automatically recognizes the name and then I always get the unparseable error.

Hi @Mkaur<\/a> ,<\/p>

If the column name contains spaces (is not a single word) you need to place brackets around it:<\/p>

Hope this helps!<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":110782,"type":"question","name":"Filter By Cell Color","excerpt":"Is there a way to create a filter to only show let's say cells highlighted in yellow?","snippet":"Is there a way to create a filter to only show let's say cells highlighted in yellow?","categoryID":321,"dateInserted":"2023-09-26T14:57:55+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-09-26T15:18:32+00:00","insertUserID":140966,"insertUser":{"userID":140966,"name":"DieHard Jets","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/DieHard%20Jets","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!nqNr_7IPH7s!7YEoe-ZaUvs!GnmHpUESlnd","dateLastActive":"2023-09-26T15:17:58+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":140966,"lastUser":{"userID":140966,"name":"DieHard Jets","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/DieHard%20Jets","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!nqNr_7IPH7s!7YEoe-ZaUvs!GnmHpUESlnd","dateLastActive":"2023-09-26T15:17:58+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":2,"countViews":28,"score":null,"hot":3391482987,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/110782\/filter-by-cell-color","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/110782\/filter-by-cell-color","format":"Rich","lastPost":{"discussionID":110782,"commentID":396969,"name":"Re: Filter By Cell Color","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/396969#Comment_396969","dateInserted":"2023-09-26T15:18:32+00:00","insertUserID":140966,"insertUser":{"userID":140966,"name":"DieHard Jets","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/DieHard%20Jets","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!nqNr_7IPH7s!7YEoe-ZaUvs!GnmHpUESlnd","dateLastActive":"2023-09-26T15:17:58+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-09-26T15:18:20+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-09-26T15:15:31+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":396963,"body":"
