Re: Conditional count of parents rows only with now children on a date column.
Hi @Kingskid
You can filter out Child Rows as long as your source sheet has something that indicates if the row is a Child or Parent.
From what I can see in your screen capture, only Parent rows have a date in the "Date Logged" column, is that correct? If so, you can add criteria that says that cell needs to be <> "" or Not Blank:
=COUNTIFS({Date Logged Column}, <> "", {CC Label Activities}, AND(@cell >= DATE(year@row, [Month1]@row, 1), @cell <= DATE(year@row, [Month1]@row, 31)))

Re: December Question of the Month 💭 Join the conversation and receive a badge
In terms of Smartsheet, I've designed a Work Order tracking and approval worksheet that seems to push the boundaries of what Smartsheet was intended for. I discovered this when I asked a tech about an email format generated from the sheet, and they mentioned it was an usual use of the product.
On a personal note, handling my partner's severe stroke aftermath has been challenging. It's sometimes more demanding than dealing with a teenager, but I've learned to stay calm and navigate through it all.

Re: Can I auto-populate base on role in Smartsheet and sync with Resource Management?
There currently isn't a way to use a column formula in an Assigned To column and also have that column sync with Resource Management; the cells in that Assigned To column will need to be editable through the integration.
If you have access to DataMesh, I would potentially use DataMesh to bring in both your contacts and role into the second sheet, although this would require a new DataMesh workflow every time you have a new Sheet B.

Re: Smartsheet Modified at cell capturing on Log in issue
The column formula with the TODAY function is what is causing the updates. The TODAY function is updating on the back end to today's date when the sheet is activated for the first time each day.

Re: Formula for filtering multiple columns to get an expense total
The syntax of the SUMIFS function is as follows;
SUMIFS( range , criterion_range1 , criterion1 [ criterion_range2 , criterion2... ])
- range — The group of cells to sum, assuming they meet all criteria.
So, add "S" to your existing formula's SUMIF, move the EXPENSE8:EXPENSE1915 to the top as the range to sum, then add the 2nd criterion_range and criterion, ID8:ID1915, "RAD PODS," at the bottom.
=SUMIFS(EXPENSE8:EXPENSE1915, [VENDOR PERSON]8:[VENDOR PERSON]1915, NOTES@row, ID8:ID1915, "RAD PODS")
Re: "When rows are added" not triggering Update Request automation
Hi @FrankM
Can I assume that your trigger for the Alert is based on content being added, versus a cell being blank?
When DataShuttle updates a row, it adds content to specific cells in that row. Even though the row is "added", blank cells aren't seen as being added to the sheet since nothing changed for those cells.
I'd recommend setting up you Update Request workflow to be triggered on the column that will always contain data, and then have conditions that look for the blank values:
Let me know if this works for you!

Re: I want to use a formula to convert a date into a year and quarter
This is a great solution and was just what I was looking for! Just one note - in order to report quarters it needs a very slight adjustment:
="Q" + ROUNDUP((MONTH([Date]@row)/3)) + " " + YEAR([Date]@row)
Dividing the Month by 4 will result in your year being divided into thirds of four months each rather than quarters of three months each.
Re: I want to generate a report that pulls from all of my timelines weekly
You can create a Report that uses multiple sources. Assuming they (the sheets) are not all in one Workspace or folder where you could select that entity, and anything newly added would be picked up in the Report to reduce your manual intervention (I forget which way it works specifically). From there, you can set an automated repetitive e-mail of the Report to a user group. It isn't as user friendly on the editing side as an automation workflow in a sheet, but it's doable. As long as the intended audience has access to all the underlying sheets, then the rows should display for them in the Report (assuming they also have access to that).
Another option I've used is to setup an Automation Workflow in a sheet and use the Alert Someone with the Message Only option and include the URL to the Report you want them to work out of. That way you don't even provide the native sheet link, simply the aesthetically pleasing Report for them to easily enter values into the few columns that may be required.
Short story long, there are options and depending on how all your sheets are setup, that might guide you to the most efficient solution for your situation.

Re: PMO Efficiency - Workspaces and Automated Backups
Hi @Hsantos
We make separate workspaces for each project so we can color code the header bar and add a project logo. Otherwise it is difficult for PMs to tell which project they are working on as all the plans/reports/dashboards all look the same and they manage many at once, flipping between tabs. The downside of this is that I need to add each project separately to my cross-project reports. If all projects were within one workspace in separate folders the reporting across projects is easier.
I also find it makes access/sharing more difficult because, in my case, I have new team members join that need access to old projects and I need to add them one by one.
So consider you access/sharing needs, color coding, reporting.....
