SUM of Row
I was trying to figure at formula for the SUM of a row but I found so I thought I'd share. Start off with =SUM( ) then left click the entire row and it will create the formula you need!
More than I normally share :-)
Hey everyone. This is encouraging me to get out of my comfort zone some (I'm an introvert by nature), which is good since I really should post more in this community. I'm an Engineer in the natural gas industry which I feel like is maybe an outlier in the Smartsheet community. I went to Engage in 2019 and I saw a ton of…

I'm Jake Gustafson and I am a Business Process Analyst at FAST Global Solutions, a manufacturing company based out of West…
Hello!!!
I am Melissa from Knoxville, TN. I work in IT Project Management. I am new to Smartsheet as I just changed roles a few months ago. I love it! In my previous position, a consultant had tried to utilize it on a project, but clearly didn't know how to use it effectively. I know I am only scratching the surface and can't wait…
Introduction
Howdy, figure that is a good way to start as I am a native Texan. My name is Meg and I have been using Smartsheet since 2015/2016. A vendor working on a different a project brought Smartsheet to my last job. One could say that the PMO was adopting the product, some were quick to embrace and others not so much. In fact,…
Who is that guy?
This is me, nearly all the time. First impression is sarcastic and slightly amused, right? 100% accurate. 😁 This is also me, on the rare occasion that I'm taking something seriously. The angry eyebrows are all natural; I'm not really mad, I'm just drawn that way. (I like the first me better!) My name is Jeff. I'm…
Introduce myself
Hi from Frankfurt am Main in Germany. I've been working with Smartsheet for 10 years or so now and in different roles. Now beeing a Smartsheet consultant is great because it's a tool/platfrom from the 21st century with so much potential! Fun fact; maybe I allow some large HiFi speakers to occupy quite some space in my…

Before June 2021, program and project management was supported by a kaleidoscope of tools - Excel, MS Teams Planner, SharePoint, PowerPoint reporting, etc. We adopted…

Formulas for Calculating Time
I have decided to create a post that consolidates all of the different time based solutions that I have put together. Some of these solutions can be made more efficient or condensed into fewer but larger formulas. I am still going through these working on making them more efficient and tweaking them, but all of them have…

Quick way to copy formulas across sheets I found
Problem: I had the need to copy a list of 26 formulas to 56 sheets maintaining the formulas for each sheet. to increase the data collection across the sheets. All sheets have the same column names. Smartsheet defaults to saving the end result, and doesn't offer the ability to just copy the formulas from one column in one…

Combine emails into a multiple-contact column / multi-contact column
Multiple-contact columns can be problematic to use in Smartsheet. Namely, they cannot be "put together" with a formula. There's many use cases where you need to build multiple contacts into a cell based on criteria/lookups, but there isn't a way to do that in native core Smartsheet. There is, however, a couple of methods…
Auto-Create Child Rows WITHOUT Bridge or API
This initial solution is based on form submissions being made and each form submission triggering the creation of a set of "template" child rows per submission WITHOUT the need for a 3rd party app, the premium add-on Bridge, or the API. So if your form submissions look like this: Your working sheet could look like this:…
Formula To Indicate A Task Is Ready Because Predecessors Are Complete [Solution]
I have seen many posts about people wanting the ability to indicate a particular task/row is ready to begin because all of the predecessors are complete (many of them archived). All of the proposed solutions had short comings (e.g. only works on rows with a single FS predecessor with no lag). Here is my full solution to…

Hello everyone, would love some feedback on this tutorial. I was answering a user's question regarding INDEX and MATCH (thread post here), and thought it would be beneficial to share my example to the greater Smartsheet community of how to easily utilize INDEX and MATCH functions to reference cells from another sheet by…
URL Query String and CHAR() Function Helper Sheet
Greetings all, Because I grew tired of spending an inordinate amount of time piecing together URL query strings, I've compiled all of the UTF-8 character codes (that I came across) into an easy to use reference sheet. I've also added in a column for the corresponding CHAR() function codes and conditionally formatted the…
