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.

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…
