Re: SUCCESSORS Testing
Thanks @Paul Newcome, the final version ended up as:
=IF(AND(Predecessors@row <> "", Progress@row <> "Complete", COUNTIFS([Next Tasks]:[Next Tasks], HAS(@cell, Row@row + ""), Progress:Progress, "Complete") = COUNTIFS([Next Tasks]:[Next Tasks], HAS(@cell, Row@row + ""))), 1)
We have a few tasks that are "SS" (as you mentioned, the above works for "FS") so will work to expand that, it should be relatively easy to track when the FS tasks are showing as "Started"....famous last words?

Re: Auto Fill with Dates if certain category is selected
Try this:
=IF([Column Name]@row = "Communication", [Due Date]@row - 7)

Re: What formula would I use to read a date from another sheet?
I hope you're well and safe!
Have you created the cross-sheet references?
Try something like this.
=IFERROR(INDEX({Location Tracker - SS Range 1}, MATCH([Studio Code]@row, {Location Tracker - SS Range 2},0)), "")
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Re: Formula to calculate the last update of a specific column
Hi, I found a way to make that calculation.
When you create a sheet with a Status dropdown menu, you should create a second "tracking" sheet.
In the "tracking" sheet use the first column to "mirror" the column where you have your dropdown menu. Go to each cell of the "mirror" column on the "tracking" sheet and link it to the cell of the corresponding row of the original sheet.
Then, continue working on the "tracking" sheet and set the second column as a Modified(Date) one. It immediately will display the date you created the link to the original sheet on the first column.
Every time you change the dropdown menu cell in the original sheet, the value of the corresponding cell in the "tracking" sheet will also change, and that change will in turn modify the date in the corresponding cell in column 2.
Now, go back to your original sheet. Create a Date column. Go to each cell in that column and link it to the corresponding cell in the Modified(Date) column on your "tracking" sheet. Your original sheet will display the date of the last change in your dropdown menu column for each cell.
Continue on the original sheet and create a Text/number column and write a formula to calculate the difference between today and the date of the last change to the dropdown menu cell.
Example: =TODAY() - ChangeDate2, where ChangeDate is the name of the column that "mirrors" the Modify(Date) column in your "tracking" sheet

Unfortunately, no, but it's still an excellent idea!

Re: Dynamic Data Validation with Columns from another Grid
I haven't seen that be an issue before, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I would suggest reaching out to Support to see what they say.

Re: How to select value from last column in a range
Give this a try...
=VLOOKUP([Original Status]@row, [Original Status]@row:[Status 8-30-18]@row, COUNT(Original Status@row:[Status 8-30-18]@row))
The bold portion will be the name of the very last column. I just used the last column shown in your screenshot.
What this does is looks for the value of what is in your Original Status Column and hits against a table. That table is the [Original Status]@row:[Status 8-30-18]@row portion which says to look across the column range in whatever row the formula is in. If it finds the value (or course it will since the value is based off of whatever is in the first column of your table), then it will return the value that is in x number of columns to the right. To determine that x number, you use a COUNT function which counts only non-blank cells. As long as each week up to current has a value in it and each week after is blank, the COUNT function will determine how many columns to the right in that row are not blank. That number is used to determine how far over to the right your VLOOKUP will go for it's return value.
Basically you are saying "Since the value to look for matches, go over to the right however many cells are populated and return that value."
Make your Current Status column a RYG type, and it should work just fine for you.

Re: Dependencies and fixed dates
It's really sad that the devs do not implement this little thing which can bring so much satisfaction to the Smartsheet community. I've started using the app less and less, it basically became a glorified online Excel, because I virtually cannot run any project in Smartsheet (due to its multiple shortcomings).
