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.

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.

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…
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…
