Smartsheet dashboard and data visualization
In my organization there is focus to get tableau to provide data visualization in a similar manner as Smartsheet. There are teams of people that are working to set up what I have and I’ve been able to do what tableau is natively intended to do. I’m not trying to toot my horn but at the same time I feel that Smartsheet is…
(Solution) Using ZIP to get Per Diem M&EI Rates with Python
I've been testing new things with the Smartsheet API via python. Somebody down the road might find value with this if they want to build their own expense report system. It works by checking a column called "ZIP Code", and then looking at the bottom of the sheet for the latest entry, then gets the row ID. Once it has the…

Issues with SmartSheet Certification?
Hello SmartSheet Community!

Has anyone else had this issue? I've…

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…

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…
