1. Re: Using Aliases in Calculation

I don't think you can use aliases in calc fields.
There are couple ideas from 2015 that I found,

Hi Lisa,
Calculated fields use the true name, not the alias so you will need to change your logic around the other way.
i.e.
If [Name] = (insert true name of field here) then '10'
end
