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…

Use Javascript in Bridge to efficiently import data from an API

I am not a Jscript coder - all credit for this goes to the awesome @Nathan Lloyd at Smartsheet - Large Enterprise Technical Sales Engineer, who gave me the basis for this script at ENGAGE 2022.

How I calculate HH:mm
Here's how I figured out HH:mm. I welcome all simplification suggestions. The combined formula in A38 is this monstrosity (but it works): =IFERROR(IF(INT(SUMIFS({Duration}, {CURWK}, 1, {Event Type}, A$37) / 60) < 10, "0" + INT(SUMIFS({Duration}, {CURWK}, 1, {Event Type}, A$37) / 60), INT(SUMIFS({Duration}, {CURWK}, 1,…

Using DataMesh to Split One Line Onto Multiple Lines (for Forms Entries and Other Uses)
This is a problem I've heard a few times so I'm answering it in a separate post for reference in long form. I'm using the example from @WtaylorW's question over here. The basic need is to take one line and split it onto multiple lines. In this example you have a form that's inputting multiple names in different columns,…

Turn Numbers Into Letters

In another column, create the following formula: =RIGHT(LEFT("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", Number@row), 1) If you need to increment these beyond Z, it gets a little more complicated, but…

Poor Man's Datamesh
Prior to getting Datamesh, I devised a solution to transfer data from one page to another, without having matching columns. This process uses an intermediary sheet. It's kind of a pain to set up, but it works well and requires little to no maintenance. I still find some very small use cases where this comes in handy.…

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…

DataMesh within the same sheet to copy cells from one column to another
Up until today I've restricted my understanding of datamesh to copying values from sheet to sheet. However, I just discovered today that you can use it WITHIN a sheet! What does this solve? If you ever need to copy a value from column A to column B, but do not want to use a formula, then this process is perfect. It also…
