Re: Can I create a Column Formula which automatically applies text in a Parent Row to the Child Rows?
Hi Dayle
Is this what you are looking to do?
If so, the Formula in the col Parent Info would be:
=PARENT([Info from Parent]@row)
I hope that helps. If it's not what you are looking for, please let me know.
Can I create a Column Formula which automatically applies text in a Parent Row to the Child Rows?
When rows move into my sheet, I use them as parent rows for my projects. I want to have a column formula which automatically pulls in data from the parent row to its child rows. I've tried putting =PARENT() into a child row but it makes all cells in that column empty when I convert it to a Column Formula.
Any assistance would be hugely appreciated - I'm new to Smartsheet forumlas, I've been using Automation as a workaround but this has limitations.
Re: How can I get the copy of "Send me a copy of my responses"
Thank you. We recieve over 400 requests a week, it is not scalable to create a document for each scenario. I need an automated way to get the same information that is sent to the submitter to specific teams based on the selections made. I have work flows for this - The teams get the information but the formatting is terrible and it links to a sheet they don't have access to (they only need to know what the submitter filled out in the form). The copy of response sent to the submitter is exactly what I need sent out to my different teams.
Re: Average symbols for growing number of columns
You would first need to convert the bars into numbers. The easiest way to do this would be to add a series of COUNTIFS together.
=COUNTIFS([Helper 1]@row:[Helper 2]@row, @cell = "Quarter") + (COUNTIFS([Helper 1]@row:[Helper 2]@row, @cell = "Half") * 2) + ......................................
Then you would take that and divide it by the number of cells that aren't blank.
=(COUNTIFS(.....) + (COUNTIFS(.....) * 2) + .....) / COUNTIFS([Helper 1]@row:[Helper 2]@row, @cell <> "")
I would suggest leaving this in its own column because from here we need to use a nested IF. Dropping this into a nested IF will provide for a single column formula, but it will be rather large and unwieldy. Putting the next piece in its own column will make things much easier to manage and troubleshoot.
=IF(Formula@row>= 4, "Full", IF(Formula@row>= 3, "Three Quarter", IF(..............

Re: SUMIFS Formula with Three Conditions
Hi @twallen,
Just add a
HAS() to your formula and you will be all set - this is needed for the multi-select field.
=SUMIFS([Total CE Units]:[Total CE Units], Employee:Employee, "MB", [Applicable Categories]:[Applicable Categories], HAS(@cell, "HSW"))
Later, to add the year part, use this.
=SUMIFS([Total CE Units]:[Total CE Units], Employee:Employee, "MB", [Applicable Categories]:[Applicable Categories], HAS(@cell, "HSW"), [Date Earned]:[Date Earned], @cell <> "", [Date Earned]:[Date Earned], YEAR(@twallen
Hope this helps,
Dave

Re: SUMIF formula not working in Sheet Summary
Hi @Esquared213
Lets try two different formulas to determine where it's having trouble:
=SUM([Annual Revenue]:[Annual Revenue])
and
=COUNTIFS([Fiscal Year]:[Fiscal Year], 2023)
These should both return a number. If one of them is giving you an error or incorrect result, this will help us narrow down where it's getting stuck!

Re: Dashboard & Chart Widgets
The TODAY() function does not update on its own unless the sheet is somehow activated. The easiest way to have the sheet automatically activated and saved to update the TODAY() function without you having to maintain anything would be to insert a date type column and then set up a Record a Date automation triggered daily and set to run at 12:00am with a condition of where the new date type column is blank or is not blank.
This will force update the TODAY() function to ensure your INDEX functions properly without you having to ever touch this sheet again.

Re: Circular Reference with Vlookup (Works in Excel)
Is there a reason you are doing it this way instead of turning on the dependencies within the sheet?

Re: Help with IF statement with INDEX MATCH
Great! I also use IFERROR when indexing reason is the #NO MATCH is set by SS and we do not know what value they are using to set it. So when you have #NO MATCH it also prevents you from using conditional formatting. We use a lot of indexing to update over 700 Pharmacy Sites in tons of sheets and when a site closes it is removed from our Reference API so it cannot match the site # once it is removed I get the #NO MATCH so I set the " " or "Site Closed" or "VACANT" as the value if False.

The phase defaults that you set up in Account Settings (your first screen capture) will show up as a drop down list in the Schedule tab on the Project page:
