It would be a great adddition to add formula's to columns when a workflow is called.
This would be a great help when adding lines from forms etc....
Please advise if anyone has a work around for this.
Thank You

Please and thank you- I just discovered the cell automation feature. Very powerful as is but with formulas, it will make it incredible. Thank you.
In referencing back to the conversation below, which has been ongoing for several years, I would also love to have this ability! Not sure why there are restrictions on it right now, but it would be a huge time saver.

If "add a formula" is not possible now, can you allow the "Change Value" feature to an existing column on the sheet? For example, use the Created Date column to automate another "Month" and "Year" column.
Because currently there is no way to log a time upon approval, I am trying to think of other workarounds to log the time. One way was to use the automation to update the field using the TIME fomula, yet here I am, prevented by a single '…
Yes this would be so helpful to our work - especially in reference to formulas that are almost a column formula but with a few exceptions.
I'm putting in my vote to have this feature added too. This is a limitation that is inhibiting my automation of complex sheets and project plans.
PLEASE add this functionality
Just following up on this thread. I too would love to have the function to an automation to add a formula to a cell based on something changing.
This idea would be a huge change for the better and bring Smartsheet closer in line to competitors in terms of functionality. While we don't have a datetime field, being able to record calculated values that were triggered by automations allow for time stamps, recording who submitted information to a certain field (and keeping the name static), etc.
As one of the system admins, it is absurd to me that I cannot view or have access to all of the items created in my organization. We have over 11,000 reports, sheets, and dashboards and I can't see them. I have no visibility to if people are using our plan for their own personal use, or what kind of work is going on unless…
I noticed this the other day and tested Ctrl + M – it does not work. I submit ticket to Smartsheet support – they told me that’s expected behavior because it’s not currently available even though it still shows as keyboard shortcut in the menu🙄 and told me to submit new product idea. Please add this keyboard shortcut to…
Summary of Issue All team members work a standard 7.5‑hour day, but only a portion of that day is allocated for project work (e.g., 25%, 50%, etc.). In Resource Management, however, the system currently interprets allocations as a percentage of the full 7.5 hours, instead of the project‑eligible portion of a person’s day.…
