Calculated column Translate into JSON Formatting

Question

Hi,

I have a calculated column with the below formula. This calculated column rendered as HTML with a clickable link in SP 2013. However, in SP 2019 it doesn't work. I need to translate same to a JSON Column formatting that I can use.

How can I incorporate JSON Formatting with same logic? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

The calculated formula I have is:

=IF(New<>"",
   IF(CID="",
IF(New,"Uploading...",""),"<a href='#' class='cascadingLink' onclick='openInDialog(700,950,true,true,true,""/sites/TW/Reviews/Reviews/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID="&CID&""");'>Edit Review</a>"),"")

where "New" and "CID" are the list columns.  

How can I replicate this rendering using JSON Column formatting or JSLink ? Any help with JSON column formatting code is highly appreciated.

Answer 1

Based on your description, I understand that you want to add a clickable link in a column by using JSON formatting.

Here is an example for you:

1.Create a text column.

2.Use following formula in the column.

{
   "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
   "elmType": "a",
   "txtContent": "Edit Review",
   "attributes": {
      "target": "_blank",
      "href": "='http://sp/sites/sites/TW/Reviews/Reviews/Forms/EditForm.aspx?ID='+[$CID]"
   }
}
