Hello
Surprised to see users can enter over 100% in %Complete column.
I tried to constrain with pull downs but that isn't allowed for project dependencies...
Any thoughts?

While the column name is "% Complete", the formatting is based on percent and there is no constraints in the column for range.
It struck me as odd when I first starting using Smartsheet, but I got used to it.
Maybe they will add data validation on Text/Number and this could be user defined, but I am not betting on it.

Odd indeed, especially since the column is part of project tracking dependencies!
Originally, the Duration column was not marked as special column -- it was just a Text/Number column with the Duration features. Maybe they will do the same with % Complete.
Could definitely use this. Currently I have a special auto-formatting rule set up to highlight when a % Complete cell is greater than 100%, but as all formatting rules create a processing burden on your sheets - it would be much nicer if this could simply be handled with a limit.
As long as the limit is not universally imposed, I'm all for constraints/validations on a column level (like restricted drop down lists)

I make sure all columns were the correct size & no cells were hidden. "We have found a problem with (file) Do you want us to try and recover as much…
Hi Everyone, My IT has a lot of confusion on what we access we really need to have for certain people. What is the difference between a "Member" and a "Licensed User?" We have a lot of sheets that have owners who do all of the changes of the sheet. I know that they need to be licensed users. But then, we have a lot of…
