Question regarding automations (triggers)
I have a question regarding triggers. Is it possible to create a trigger when you say cell C you have the year as 2025 and when that cell C says 2025 it triggers cell d to write the word active. When the 2025 is changed to 2026. there is a trigger to remove active so cell D is now blank. Thank you
