Automation for conflicting events on same dates
Is there conditional formatting function available to trigger a notification in smartsheet when a date is booked for two of the same items? For example; in a scheduling sheet, when the same equipment is booked on the same date?

You would need to use a formula in a helper column to flag rows where there is date overlap. There are a number of posts already here in the Community that go into more detail regarding date overlap, but the general idea is using an IF/COUNTIFS combo to count the number of rows that have overlap with "@row" and saying IF that COUNTIFS is greater than 1 then flag the row. You would then build your conditional formatting off of this helper column.
