Can I over ride a column formula for some row?
I have a grid to track periodic review of documents. Most documents must be reviewed every year, but some can be reviewed every two years.
My column formula is [Effective Date]@row + 365.
Can I put [Effective Date]@row + 730 in the rows where that would be true?
Thank you,
Lynn

Add a checkbox column called "Two Years" and change the formula to
=[Effective Date]@row + IF([Two Years]@row = 1, 730, 365)
Then check the box on any of the documents that are reviewed every two years.

Thank you so much! What does "=1" do in the formula?

Hi @Lynn Ballas
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Add a so-called helper column and update the formula so that it overrides the standard value if it's populated.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
