@Jason Semall , the single quotes should keep the input together so spaces between quotes should be fine. I think the special characters should be fine unless it's a quote character. IF(CONTAINS('dam1',test3),'dam1','') should be IF(CONTAINS('word space & word',your checkbox field),'word space & word','') Another word of advice, build these first on your preview site and you don't have to build the 15 checkbox options right away. Build the calculated field with just 3 options first and test to the DAM. Once you like how it looks, you can then build your 15 options before making the same changes to the production site. That way, it's easier to troubleshoot if things don't seem to be what you expect. Regards. Polly Co
