Any ideas on automatically creating workscope packages base on changed rows?
I have a large database that users can make changes to, those changes are then put into a workscope for processing. I don't think I want to use the highlight changes feature, because sometimes the changes may stay in limbo before processing for more than a month or two, and I don't want to use show changes since I last…

People that worked for him were always calling in sick because they did not want to work for him. It was a holiday in the office when he was away for business. I learned a…

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…
Formula To Indicate A Task Is Ready Because Predecessors Are Complete [Solution]

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:…
Lock or Store Date/Value Solution without using Zapier
Hi all, I hope you're well and safe! I've developed a solution that lets you store the date or value. You'd use the copy-row automation and a VLOOKUP or combination of INDEX/MATCH to make it work. We'd trigger the copy-row to another sheet and get the created date/other value and then use the VLOOKUP/INDEX/MATCH to get it…
