allow users to add section to request amounts and total them
something like:
blue widgets needed - #
red widgets needed - #
green widgets needed - #
Total widgets = # blue+# red+# green

It would be great if we could have people fill out forms (with weighted answers) and get the score right away before they submit or perhaps it could appear on the submission response page when they hit submit. This would help to quickly assist the individuals rather than having to sign into our account, find the specific project and look for their answers.
HI Smartsheet dev team,
i'm using a form app to review my worker performance,
each selection, they will put a number ( EX : good = 20 point, med = 10 point , bad = 0 point )
So , final, i will base on all number soccer to rank my worker
everything i use form is OK, but i want a feature that help sum of number from the fields in Form before the submission, my worker can know sum of their soccer
Hope that idea can be real soon
Thank you

Hello! I apologize if there's already an idea open for this-
But what would be a great addition to forms is by expanding the logic options. Specifically it would be great if once you select a drop-down in the intake form, you could have it show the result of an already established formula column as a 'preview'.
For example, if this is a request intake form, the 'request type' could have three options: rush, standard, stock. In my sheet, if 'rush' is selected, then the sheet adds +3 days to todays date in a new 'due date' column. If this was integrated into the form, and someone was going to submit a new request, they'd enter that day's date (4/01/2023), and then selected 2- standard, there would be a read-only field that gives the result of the formula: 4/6/2023. If the submitter then sees that this turnaround date is not soon enough, they could change the dropdown to 1- rush, and see the estimated date update to 4/4/23, and then they could continue with submitting the form.
I am trying to mimic a form that has a built in excel calculations for purchase orders. It would be great if Smartsheet would allow some sort of table with calculations within the form builder.
We have a Control Center solution and forms that are tied to RAID logs and more.
We have no way on a FORM to automate a project name or ID
We would love (like on Card View) for a Column Formula to show static information on the form that pulls from the sheet. OR the option to pull Sheet summary data to the form. This would again be a static field not editable from the form.
This way we could automate the project ID and Name to show up on all forms without the extra touch.
Would be nice to be able to have forms autofill as you fill out. After users click on the dropdown buttons, a numerical value is assigned and this is totaled in the background. I would like the total from all the form buttons to auto fill the "total risk value" box. Then users can make a decision based on the total value.
I asked the SmartSheet Phone Support person if it was possible for a form user, when submitting a form, to enter a date in one field and to have the system automatically calculate another date based on that entry. We ask the person to choose three date options for having a class and want to only show the dates that are 3 weeks later than the date that they are submitting the form. Currently, the form is static and would not be able to pull from any formulas or automation to allow this to happen. SmartSheet community, please vote for this idea as it looks like it would also help others who want this type of automation in the form. Thanks!
I'm hoping for a custom validation option on form fields that compares them to one another. Specifically this is in regards to numeric fields: one field cannot be greater than the other field. To take that a step further, what I really need is the option to prevent the sum of certain fields from (1) exceeding the sum of certain other fields and (2) being outside a specified range, in this case not greater than 1.
My form in question is for requesting changes to which cost center(s) an employee rolls up to. Employees can be split between multiple cost centers, so the form allows for up to 3 cost centers for the current state and up to 3 cost centers for the future state. For each cost center, the user is to enter the employee's FTE value (Full Time Equivalent, i.e. 40 hours/week=1, 20 hours/week=0.5, etc). No employee can be greater than 1 FTE, and the request may not net to an increase in their FTE value.
Let's identify the form fields A-F as follows for example.
A: FTE value currently in Cost Center #1
B: FTE value currently in Cost Center #2
C: FTE value currently in Cost Center #3
D: Requested Future State FTE value in Cost Center #4
E: Requested Future State FTE value in Cost Center #5
F: Requested Future State FTE value in Cost Center #6
(the cost centers themselves are selected in a drop-down box in separate fields, but that's irrelevant to this suggestion)
The logic I'm requesting would be: D+E+F must be equal to or less than A+B+C
Furthermore, I'd also like to implement this logic, along the same lines: A+B+C must be between 0 and 1, and also D+E+F must be between 0 and 1.
One option that may assist in implementing the above is to allow us to create additional fields that are auto-populated by the entries in A-F, eg: "Total Current State FTE" = A+B+C, and "Total Future State FTE" = D+E+F. Then the new logic would only have to apply to those two new fields: Each of them must be between 0 and 1, and "Total Future State FTE" must not exceed "Total Current State FTE"
Forms that could calculate using form submissions and data from the sheet would have many uses.
When putting a formula into a hidden line in a form, every time the form is submitted a ' is automatically inputted in front of the formula. This obviously prevents the formula from acting like a formula, but instead just shows the text.
This form allows folks to scan a QR code to get the part code (shown as TESTITEM in example above), then the formula would pull in the item name. This would be helpful to our warehouse staff as there are too many part codes to memorize. Not sure if anyone else has tried to use formulas like this or if they have had the same experience, but it would be a much smoother end user experience to be able to use formulas in a form such as this.
I do not want to make a formula column because of some niches we have with our system. This is the best solution I could come up with (other than creating yet another helper column), but it doesn't work.
Maybe put in a Formula option in the field settings validations would help solve this?
@Jade Boring
A formula column will be the only reliable way to achieve this result.
You could expand your formula with an IF() statement to only apply it some of the time. You could also move/copy rows to other Sheets that contain column formulas to achieve the same result of conditionally applying a formula to your form.
You could also use DataMesh which is a nice tool for large databases that need to be queried.
If there are other niches of your system that need to be considered let me know and I can try to offer a solution!
Our employees use a Smartsheet purchase requisition form. They enter the qty and cost per item, but t
he form cannot show them the total $ they entered so they cannot double check their math (a headache upon receipt and in accounting).
It would be awesome if Smartsheet could incorporate simple math functionality, much like placing an Amazon order, where the math is done for the consumer.
Having calculations pre-built in forms would be a game changer. In addition to summing up a product order, I'd also like to include an index/match reference. Ex: when a site number is entered, the address, city, state, and manager for that location prefills instead of the team manually entering it in.
It would be very helpful to have the ability to show columns that use column formulas on a form so that the user entering the form can see the data but not be able to edit the data for that field. This is particualry helpful when the user selects an item from a drop down, for example a Customer name and the delivery address is auto populated. If this address is not where the form user wants the delivery to go there can be a check box that allows the user to select, which would then provide a secondary field for the delivery address that they could then manually enter. This way they are not having to type the delivery address each time they load the same customer for an order. Is this something that is possible?
I rely heavily on Smartsheet’s Document Generation. However, this workflow is currently dependent on having photos stored inside cells, since row attachments alone cannot be used directly in document generation.. If Smartsheet allowed attachments to be displayed as thumbnails in cells (as a reference), document generation…
It would be extremely helpful if there was a way to have data pull into a form from another Smartsheet source based on selections made within the form. Example: On the form there is a dropdown to select a client property number. The property Name, Address, and any additional property information are then pulled into the…
There is currently a Hubspot integration readily available to connect data into Smartsheet.com We have received an increased need to be able to also connect Hubspot data into smartsheet.eu Is this on the roadmap? If not this would be a great enhancements for many customers.
