Re: Formula help to calculate sum of items across smartsheets
Hi @Carmen H,
Formulas for Totals:
for each label, substitute {Worksheet 1 - Meetings Chaired} cross-sheet reference for {Worksheet 1 - Attended as a member} etc. as needed for each row. To reference H2 2025 swap out "H1 2025" for "H2 2025" etc. as needed across multiple columns.
=SUMIFS({Worksheet 1 - Meetings Chaired}, {Worksheet 1 - Time Period}, "H1 2025", {Worksheet 1 - Scorecard Category}, "Governance")
You asked about adding additional columns, if you intend to report or visualize this data you are better off with a column for each time period. However, if you want to summarize the year within one column you can create a visually appealing summary with this trick:
- Add a helper column with a cell that has "-[carriage return]-" (see highlighted column, on your keyboard you'd type - then Alt+Enter then -
- Combine two of the formulas mentioned above, along with a SUBSTITUTE formula for the carriage return. Here's the formula as an example for 2025 Combined row 2
="H1 2025: " + SUMIFS({Worksheet 1 - Meetings Chaired}, {Worksheet 1 - Time Period}, "H1 2025", {Worksheet 1 - Scorecard Category}, "Governance") + SUBSTITUTE($[Helper Column for carriage return]$1, "-", "") + "H2 2025: " + SUMIFS({Worksheet 1 - Meetings Chaired}, {Worksheet 1 - Time Period}, "H2 2025", {Worksheet 1 - Scorecard Category}, "Governance")
Hope this all helps, do let me know if I've missed the ask, I'd be happy to take another look.

Re: Need help Summary Formula Countif multiple criteria
@Darren Mullen Thank you this formula works. Figured out that one of my criteria was typed incorrectly. Fixed that and viola
=COUNTIFS([Client Final Approval]:[Client Final Approval], "Needs Review", [Fit/Gap]:[Fit/Gap], OR(@cell = "Gap – In Scope", @cell = "Fit – In Scope"))

Re: How to add another calculation to an If statement and Index/Match
It worked! Thank you so much. Really appreciate your time and help.
Re: How to add another calculation to an If statement and Index/Match
Hi Lisa,
Try the below, personally I think scenario 1 below is cleaner and easier to understand for a viewer other than yourself.
Scenario 1 - Total Estimated Costs:
=IFERROR(IF(Hours@row <> "", Hours@row * [Hourly Cost]@row, IF(Units@row <> "", Units@row * [Unit Cost]@row, [Fixed Cost]@row)) + IF(Hours@row <> "", Hours@row * [Hourly Cost]@row, IF(Units@row <> "", Units@row * [Unit Cost]@row, [Fixed Cost]@row)) * [% Markup]@row, "")
Scenario 2 - % Markup applied to each cost type:
Hourly Cost:
=IF(Included@row = false, "", INDEX({Hourly Cost}, MATCH([Project ID | Project | Category]@row, {Category}, 0))) + IF(Included@row = false, "", INDEX({Hourly Cost}, MATCH([Project ID | Project | Category]@row, {Category}, 0))) * [% Markup]@row
Unit Cost:
=IF(Included@row = false, "", INDEX({Unit Cost}, MATCH([Project ID | Project | Category]@row, {Category}, 0))) + IF(Included@row = false, "", INDEX({Unit Cost}, MATCH([Project ID | Project | Category]@row, {Category}, 0))) * [% Markup]@row
Fixed Cost:
=IF(Included@row = false, "", INDEX({Fixed Cost}, MATCH([Project ID | Project | Category]@row, {Category}, 0))) + IF(Included@row = false, "", INDEX({Fixed Cost}, MATCH([Project ID | Project | Category]@row, {Category}, 0))) * [% Markup]@row
Many thanks,
Adam

Re: How do I count if the word Attended has appeared in a row
Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
Try something like this. (Replace the column names to match yours)=IF(COUNTIFS([Column 001]@row:[Column 002]@row, "Attended") > 0, 1)
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

Re: How do assets within a Collection appear to end users?
Hi @Shelby Carmichael and @Naeem Ejaz,
I can confirm that it’s possible to share a collection, and doing so allows you to share certain parts of a workspace with your collaborators, meaning that the shared users see the collection(s) they’re shared to and not the workspace(s). That is, unless they are also shared to the workspace, they’ll be able to see the name of the workspace the collection is located in, but won’t have access to items in the workspace that are not included in the collection.
You can also determine the access level of each item in the collection individually.
To see collections they’re shared to, users will need to go into each workspace to see the collection (as noted above, they will only have access to the collection(s) they are shared to in the workspace, unless workspace access has also been granted to them).
Take a look at this learning track for more information: Collections in workspaces - particularly the Share a collection and FAQs sections.
Hope that helps!

Re: Charting "top 10" using report?
@Dan Tanner With DataMesh you can send data from a Report to a sheet generally. Does each row have a unique identifier?
I ran a Guru Elite session on this. I'll see if I have time to sanitize part of that video for public consumption.

Re: Can smartsheet report who checked a checkbox
@Tomas Giele , this would be very easy using the APIs. Basically just listen for the checkbox being checked. Then read through the results as in the example. Then just use a key-value pair for each candidate updater and update the respective field for the row.
Sample data from API docs.
{
"columnId":4567890123456789,
"displayValue": "Revision 3",
"columnType": "TEXT_NUMBER",
"value": "Revision 3",
"modifiedAt": "2013-06-24T00:10:18Z",
"modifiedBy" : {
"name" : "Jane Smart",
"email" : "jane.smart@smartsheet.com"
}
},
