| Oct 12, 2013 at 22:35 | comment | added | SDiv | ca_peterson, the problematic formula was the same as I used above. The issue was that I was using the formula on a text field as a validation instead of creating proper WorkFlow Field Update as a Formula field. | |

| Oct 11, 2013 at 16:01 | comment | added | SDiv | Actually, I found my issue. I created Field2__C as a text field instead of formula. Once I realized my problem, end result formula was: "ABCDE"+(LEFT(Field1__c, 5)). Worked like a charm. | |

| Oct 11, 2013 at 15:46 | comment | added | Thomas Taylor | Can you paste what formula(s) you have tried? This is a Workflow Field Update, and both Field1__c and Field2__c are on the same obect, and that object is selected for the field update, correct? | |
| Oct 11, 2013 at 15:44 | comment | added | sfdcfox♦ | Can you post the actual formula-- any version that you've tried so far? And what is the context of this formula? | |
