New community member - introduction
Hello all - I'm a new Smartsheet community member and fairly recent adopter. I have a ton of background with Excel, databases, and SharePoint, so most of what I'm trying to do in SS isn't that difficult to figure out.

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.

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.

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…
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…
