How to convert a "Single line text" column into "Person or Group" column in SharePoint.
You cannot change the type of column after the column is created.
However, if you have names present in "Single line text" column then you can create a "Person or Group" column.
- Keep them aside by modifying the display position.
- Under "Quick Edit", copy and paste the name values of "Single line text" column to "Person or Group" column.
