Automated Single Cell Information

I am trying to create an automated workflow so that if cell 2B gets added or updated, then it updates only the cell in 2C, not the whole C column.

    Hi @Heald33, I'm sorry. You may need to give us a little more information so we can be helpful. Could you maybe add a screenshot of your automation?

    Automations are performed on each row individually. So if every row in your sheet is getting updated, then the conditions within the automation are being met for every row. I'd look at the conditions you've set to trigger the workflow.

    The bottom line is that the functionality that you want is exactly how SS automations are designed to work.

    I hope this helps. Be well!
