Any material for Smartsheet vs ServiceNow SPM
Hi All, Does anyone have some info or resource on why go for smartsheet over SPM? Integration is possible, but i've been asked to justify it. Personally the UI of SPM is not great for me. Smartsheet is more user friendly. i like the automation of smartsheet (SPM has this too) and to be honest, i've been using it for a…

Issues with SmartSheet Certification?
Hello SmartSheet Community! I am trying to take the project management certification exam, and for some reason when I get to the point of Talview trying to analyze the picture my camera produces it gives me a never-ending loading circle, effectively barring me from taking the test. Has anyone else had this issue? I've…

Save for Later Option in Forms
I don't believe there is a save for later option in forms. I hope I am wrong! :) What is the best way to allow for multiple people to update information in a form? I really don't want to create 4 forms based on the team in the organization that will need to fill it out. Am I missing any better alternatives?

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…

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…

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…
