HELP PLEASE!

I am not a developer :) however I have been put in charge of creating a wiki site for all Help info for the business, starting with our financial application.  I have migrated our current help content to Wiki pages.  I have then created a web part page that works like a preview glossary page.

 I am trying to add a calculated column to the wiki document list that is an index using the LEFT functionality - in this column I want to automatically get the first letter of the page...however, I try to use the [Name] field (=LEFT([Name],1)) and I get the following error:

The formula refers to a column that does not exist.  Check the formula for spelling mistakes or change the non-existing column to an existing column.

Any ideas??

Instead of using Name, see if [Title] will work. It's possible this is a renamed column derived from the base column [Title].

Hi Chris, thanks for the reply.  I am able to create a calculated column with [Title], however it doesn't pick up any info...

Strange, I'm not sure why you can't see that column (name). I noticed that it doesn't even show up when you choose to edit the list. Have you investigated the Content Type for a wiki item? It might give you a clue to the column name as they can often be different than the display name.

Thanks again Chris - I'm going to try today to see how I go.
