August Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
Hi Community,
July’s question came directly from you, and honestly, I need to ask you for inspiration more often, because this was a fantastic idea! It was so great to check in and celebrate just how much you've accomplished in the first half of the year — from health milestones and new certifications to making time for the people who matter most. 💙 For the second half, whether you're already crushing your goals or still have a few you haven't started, there's plenty of time, so go for it! I'll be cheering you on.
Now, as we kick off August, you get a brand new question. As always, take this chance to earn a badge and connect with your peers.
What’s the best thing you’ve seen on the Smartsheet Community platform?
We’ve got countless gems here, but what specific nugget of wisdom, clever solution, or helpful response from a peer has truly stuck with you? Your favorite discovery could be exactly what someone else needs to see, so share them in the comments below. ⬇️
About Question of the Month:
We kick off each month with a new question. These monthly ice breakers are just one way to help you get to know your Smartsheet peers and rack up some badges and points in the process.
Everyone who participates by answering the question prior to the end of the month will automatically receive a unique participant badge once the question closes at the end of the month.
In addition to the participant badge, the top three answers based on Community member votes will receive the Top Answer badge. To vote on an answer click on the upvote icon associated with an answer in the comments below. Multiple votes allowed and encouraged!
📌 Quick tip for keeping those amazing finds handy: Have you tried bookmarking posts? I've got quite a few myself, including this really cool post, check it out!

Re: August Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
This month, I thought I'd look at things from a personal lens. The best thing I've seen on the Smartsheet community platform was my Core Product Certification badge added to my profile!
I studied for a while to ensure that I knew the content and platform well enough that I could pass the exam. This was also during a time where I had some pretty big changes and restructuring on my team, so I was already stretched thin. But that feeling of achievement and being recognized for my certification was an amazing moment!

Rebeca,
One of the best thing(s) I have seen on the Smartsheet Community Platform would have to be all of the celebrations of people and their achievements. There is so much going on in this world that is negative and crazy. It is so nice to come here, and feel a sense of communal and familial spirit. Like minded individuals that celebrate each other. I look forward to always seeing the questions of the month, and User Spotlights.
Thank you again for all you do, Rebeca!

Re: Health column formula troubleshooting
Try this:
=IF([% Complete]@row = 1, "Gray", IF(TODAY() > [End Date]@row, "Red", IF(NETWORKDAYS(TODAY(), [End Date]@row) < 5, "Yellow", "Green")))

Onboarding Ideas!
Hello there!
My name is Esme, happy to join the Smartsheet Community! In summary, our organization has been utilizing Smartsheet in various ways with department-specific functions. I would like to create a solid onboarding foundation to help our new stars get familiar with Smartsheet and continue building on what our management team has created.
With Smartsheet having such a wide range of capabilities, has anyone created something similar for their organization? I was hoping to get guidance toward video tutorials rather than articles or step-by-step breakdowns (those I'm familiar with). Thank you so much for your help!
Re: Automation on Sheet Summary Fields
Hi @Tim Starkey
Thanks for your report of this, and your patience! We fixed the issue with yellow status bars not appearing and you should see the status for this post above.

Auto sort
Checking if there's been any movement on having the sheets sort by data in a column as I see it's been requested since at least 2016.
We have sheets that are sorted by a date that could be 2 days from the day entered or 12 months from the day entered. We also have a filter to hide past dates. Data is being entered via form or auto moved from another spreadsheet and placed at the bottom regardless of the date.
To update we have to have a paid user go in, remove the filter, sort the column and re-enter the filter which is very frustrating and should be a very basic function for spreadsheets.
Reports are a clunky option as causing a lot more sheets in our folders.
Re: How do I find the closest matching row that is above my searching row?
Perfect! Thank you so much. I thought I was a gonner since this is so complex. Thank you again for spending the time to help out.
