Would love to hear Smartsheet's reasons for not resolving this simple problem. It has been requested for years.
Re: Text to Date
@Meredith Rhodes This is actually a bit different from yours.
We do pull the RIGHT 4 for the year, but then we use a LEFT function to pull the left characters with the FIND telling us where to STOP for the month number.
Your formula has a few misplaced parenthesis, but even then we would have a few issues because it is looking for a day value.
What we did above in the working one is essentially
=IFERROR(DATE(yyyy, mm + 1, 1), DATE(yyyy + 1, 1, 1)) - 1
We use a DATE function and add 1 to the month number. Of course this will error out for December dates because there is no month 13. So we use an IFERROR to bump it to January of the following year. Both DATE functions will output the first of the next month so that when we subtract 1, we automatically have the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st as needed.
To add a year to the output, we would add one year to both DATE functions.
=IFERROR(DATE(yyyy + 1, mm + 1, 1), DATE(yyyy + 2, 1, 1)) - 1

Typo in the "join the conversation" button
Hi @Arsineh ,
I just tried to join the conversation on STEM education but nothing happens when I press the "join the conversation button"
I just checked that the the button directs to: "hhttps://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/111443/join-the-conversation-on-stem-education-and-help-nurture-the-next-generation-of-visionaries/p1"
there is too much h at the beginning :)

Re: How are you documenting your processes and workflows for training/reference?
We subscribe to Tango and LOVE IT! Its a plug in on my browser so whenever I want to document the steps for a process, I just click the button and it starts documenting each step as I do the actual work. Then you close out of it and it saves it so you can make edits to it and add verbiage for each step, etc.
Here is an example of what it does:
Re: How are you documenting your processes and workflows for training/reference?
Hi Kristen,
Currently we are using Smartsheet & Visio to document our Smartsheet Solutions. Something we are discussing after attending Smartsheet Engage23 is utilizing the sheet summary to outline and document the technical specifications of our sheet.
Another option we are looking at is creating a Solution Setup Dashboard. This will contain all the information surrounding the solution. I am attaching an image of one I am currently designing to give you an idea. Depending where we decide to store the Setup Dashboard (in the solution workspace or in our Smartsheet Solutions Workspace will depend on if a link to the workspace is included.

Re: recurring annual reminder - contract renewal
@Dhoke you can use that automation for the column you want to run it in. Just build a formula for the date in that column. For instance, if you have an Initial Date column and a Run Date column being the execution. You can put the following formula in the Run Date
=DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH([Initial Date]@row), DAY([Initial Date]@row))

Re: Moving completed rows onto an archive sheet automatically?
Sure. You can create an automation for this.
Trigger: When a row is changed, when Completed changes to Checked
Action: Move a row (select the sheet to move it to.)
Re: Formula for Turnaround Time
No worries- I am happy to continue helping, though I do feel like I've hit a roadblock in how helpful I can be...
1) How strange that the IFERROR formula is not accurately addressing your error value. I really have no idea why that is, because I'm using the same formula above and mine is appropriately blanking out the error.
2) Unfortunately, it would be manual to enter in the formulas I noted about since they aren't set up to be column formulas and Smartsheet's current conditional formatting feature is not able to automatically assign specific cell formulas to specific cells based on their parent/child status. (I imagine that might be a hard enhancement for them to accomplish). I also want to note that the colors I used in my previous screenshot are not set-up via conditional formatting - I included that formatting myself for the sake of making it easier to note which formula I have where.

Re: Anyone able to help figure out this formula?
One thing instantly leaps out - the quotation marks around Permanent FT are curved rather than straight. Change the “Permanent FT” to "Permanent FT" .
Try changing this over and see what the result is as the different quotation marks will break things.
Re: Using COUNTIF(S) with RIGHT functionality
Hi @mónicas,
Something like this should do the trick:
=COUNTIF({Record ID 3}, RIGHT(@cell, 3) >= 100)
Hope this helps, but if you've any problems/questions then just post! 🙂
