Hello ,

To generate links based on other field values from a SP List I'm using a calculated column with this formula:

=CONCATENATE("<DIV><a href='","http://xxx.xx.xxxx.com/xxx/xx/release/",Title,".",CurrentVersion,"'>Notes</a></DIV>")

I marked also the data type returned from this formula is :

-Number(1,1.0,100)

Then the links works and they look like links inside of the list fields but I don't know how to open it in a new window or tab. Is it possible? I searched about it and I'm not sure if could be done, if request some script or maybe there are other way.

I tried with:

=CONCATENATE("
href=","http://xxx.xx.xxxx.com/xxx/xx/release/",Title,".",CurrentVersion," TARGET="_blank" >Notes")

But gives me an Error message.

The problem was the quotes in Target="_blank" , now works:

VB

=CONCATENATE("
href=","http://xxx.xx.xxxx.com/xxx/xx/release/",Title,".",CurrentVersion," TARGET=_blank >Notes")
