Hey there!
I'm based in Austin, Texas and have been a Smartsheet user since 2020. While stuck at home during the pandemic, I learned Smartsheet to create an invoicing system that tracks accurate data for contract administration and financial management across a multi-year and multi-million dollar project. I didn't find out about…
ProcessPower
My Process Power is the Power of Velocity. Is your power something you intuited or something you learned? My power is learned, there's nothing like trial by fire and having the Power of Velocity allows me dive into new projects and face challenges head on. Describe a time when you utilized your power and Smartsheet to…
Bridge / Sharepoint ( data returned is filtering to show only records associated with me )
I've created a successful integration from Bridge to a Sharepoint Time Tracker site. There are a number of lists on this site containing Time Card entries and Time Categories. TimeCard - contains all time entries for people including myself TimeCardTest - contains time entries for people excluding myself Time Categories -…
Split between building and feeding
I'm passionate about a couple of organizations. Habitat for Humanity is one, and I usually assist annually in the building of a home (in the past I was involved with a coalition that built one home a year for 12 years). I also believe in making sure no child goes hungry, and as such I donate to a Power Packs Program that…
Casa Valentina - Guiding & Supporting At-Risk Youth Aging Out of Foster Care
In 2006, my mother co-founded Casa Valentina to fill a huge gap in the Miami foster care system. When kids in foster care and group homes reach age 18, many times they are just sent out into the world. Growing up in foster care unfortunately means that many never learn the life skills, social skills, and basics to…
EveryLife Matters
A non profit that I am passionate about is the EveryLife Foundate. I found out about EveryLife in 2010 after my brother, Erik, was diagnosed with ALS. They provided us resources on what we could do to apply for FDA assistance and gave me a way to give back even after Erik passed. Everylife not only lobbies for legislative…
Hello!
I am based in Seattle and been a SmartSheet user at a nonprofit since 2018. I finally discovered courses in SmartSheet University (although had the chance to take an in person fundamentals course early on) and earned the CoreApp and WorkApp badges! I am currently leading a team working with a SmartSheet consulting team to…
Heart of Missouri - Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA)
HOM CASA was established with the primary focus of cultivating a group of volunteers to serve as non-attorney officers of the court who advocate for the best interests of children in foster care due to abuse or neglect. CASA volunteers are dedicated to one child at a time (sometimes siblings) in order to establish a safe…
Puppies Behind Bars
Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) trains incarcerated individuals to raise service dogs for wounded war veterans and first responders, facility dogs for police departments, and explosive-detection canines for law enforcement. Puppies enter prison at the age of 8 weeks and live with their incarcerated puppy-raisers for…
A TRULY great organization- City of Hope Outreach (CoHO)
Located in central Arkansas, Since being founded in 2007, City of Hope Outreach (CoHO) has supported and empowered hundreds of under-resourced individuals throughout the State of Arkansas.

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…
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) - Column Formula Configuration
Hello Everyone, Recently myself and two fellow Smartsheet Sales Engineers, @Lea Gikas and @Dave Stanley got together to create a WBS solution powered by Column Formulas. We wanted to provide the resulting configuration to the community in case some may find it helpful in executing project management solutions, this…
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…

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.…
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…
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:…
INDEX and MATCH across two sheets: a detailed explanation
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…
