Is there a way to have the error populate in a cell? I am trying to generate a formula and cant seem to find the right one. The end goal is to have the "Id" populate in a field

    Here's how to create a formula that displays an ID or error message: 1. Add a new column and select Formula 2. In the AI Formula Generator box: • Use "/" to reference your ID column • Type your desired error handling logicYou can structure your formula like this: LBKSIF({{id}} == "") THEN "Error: Missing ID" ELSE {{id}}LBKSThis will display the ID when present, and show a clear error message when the ID is missing.The formula follows an if-else structure where you can: ** Reference your ID column using "/" ** Apply comparison operators (like equals, not equals) * Return different values based on the condition Sources: Conditional runs | Documentation | Clay University Formulas Conditional statements | Documentation | Clay University
