Configuring calculated field with column type person in SharePoint Online

Question

I need to concatenate two columns in SharePoint, and one of them is type person. I saw that is possible to create a workflow (question 218041), but I can't use SharePoint Designer in this site. There is another way, using SharePoint Online?

Answer 1

Only below column types are supported in Calculated column according to Microsoft's article:

Supported

• Single line of text
• Number
• Date and Time

Unsupported

• Multiple lines of text
• Currency
• Person or Group
• Calculated
• Hyperlink or Picture
• Custom Columns
• Yes/No
• Choice
• Lookup

So out of the box it's not possible. You may need to to look for the customization using Powershell or jQuery based solutions.
