Cross sheet formula - help
With this new feature I'm hoping I can eliminate abut 10 columns from one sheet and create a sheet just for totals. Currently I have several columns just for counting the value of columns with checkboxes. Do I have to leave these in the same sheet? When I tried to do the values in a new sheet by referencing the main sheet…
Referencing sheets
I am trying to decide between one sheet vs multiple sheets. I currently have one sheet but it has over 50-60 columns and there are sets of data that will be used by different areas. I know I can filter what is needed (to a point) with reports but it still doesn't give me the end result I need. Here is the breakdown in a…

Alerts & Actions
I am trying to ultimately set up my sheet to automatically send out Update Request 3 days (or whatever I set) within the "Bid Date" loaded into the sheet. It would be ideal if this update request would be emailed to the contact in "Sales Rep" column and copy (cc) me in the emailed Update Request for all of them. I was told…

Formula using Sum and Countif not returning expected outcomes
Here's a version of the formula that works. However I need to include a second value and get an error when I try. I'm sure it's the formula syntax. Not sure if there is a better way to get the right outcome. I basically am trying to determine % Complete OR Not Applicable Working with just Pass as a value…
RYG Balls-can't figure out
I've looked and cannot solve a problem I had solved before... I have a checkbox to denote when a task is completed. I have a due date. My problem is that I want my RYG to be green if the box is checked (that seemed easy to do) and Yellow if the due date is within 7 days AND the the box is not checked and Red if the due…
Using countifs across sheets to hold metrics for reports
We have a sheet that lists all of our projects (there are over 300 at the moment). We used to keep all of our metrics at the top of the sheet, but every now and again, someone would sort by a value that caused the metrics to get mixed into the project list. So when cross-sheet formulas (vlookup, countifs, etc) became…

Using JOIN/COLLECT and an OR?
I'm trying to write a formula using the JOIN and COLLECT options. However, I've hit a sticky point when I want to include an OR criterion on the COLLECT portion. My current formula (which works perfectly) is: =JOIN(COLLECT({Assets Range 1}, {Assets Range 2}, [Tool]@row, {Assets Range 3}, "Live"), ", ") However, I want to…
INDEX/COLLECT with both MATCH and CONTAINS criteria
I am looking for help with a cross-sheet INDEX/COLLECT formula. I need to MATCH in one criteria and CONTAINS in another criteria. I can get them working separately but I don't know how to combine into a working formula. Source Sheet: Destination Sheet: In the Attending School column in Destination Sheet, I'd like to…
Parent Color Symbol, Based on "Average" of Child Symbols
Okay, here I am again! On the Project I am working on, the Stakeholder wants parent rows for no reason other than to be able to expand and collapse the data. I nicely suggested that since the data would only be for 1 year (broken down in quarters and about 5 users listed each quarter), that since the data was not excessive…
