New in the herd
Hi all! My name is Simon, and I've been thrust into a 4 week internship at a wind turbine accessory company.

My job has been to help plan…
New to the Community
Hello All After using Smartsheet for about 5 years, I continue to be impressed. Leading a PMO, of course, our tool of choice is Smartsheet. But, we have also found great "problems" that we can easily solve with Smartsheet. From calendars, to work flows, Inventory counts and month end close. We have been able to quickly…

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…

We wanted to provide the resulting configuration to the community in case some may find it helpful in executing project management solutions, this…
Daily Update Solution without the need to open the sheet, use Zapier, or similar
Hi everyone, Happy New Year! I hope you're well and safe! 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.…
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…

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…
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:…
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…

Hello everyone, would love some feedback on this tutorial. 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…
URL Query String and CHAR() Function Helper Sheet
Greetings all, Because I grew tired of spending an inordinate amount of time piecing together URL query strings, I've compiled all of the UTF-8 character codes (that I came across) into an easy to use reference sheet. I've also added in a column for the corresponding CHAR() function codes and conditionally formatted the…
