Usually Multiline text fields cannot be used in formulas. Try using a single-line field instead.

But there is a work around of creating this.

1.Create a single-line text column
2. Create a calculated column using formula =LEFT("single-line text column name",200) the single-line text column contents
3. Remove the single-line text column
4. Create a multi-line text column with the exact same name of the original single-line text column
