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…

Just started a new job. Company is new to smart sheet. Right now I work in data entry and basic automation. Eventually working towards full processes and product creation.

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…

Best Practice

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…

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…

Daily Update Solution without the need to open the sheet, use Zapier, or similar

I've developed a way to use the newly released Record a date feature to update sheets with today's date automatically without the need to open it or similar. 1. Add a so-called helper column. (Date). We can call it Today Helper and add a date before the current day.…
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…

So if your form submissions look like this: Your working sheet could look like this:…

I've also added in a column for the corresponding CHAR() function codes and conditionally formatted the…
