I am troubleshooting a formula using a help example.
My formula is in a date format cell and references a date format cell with a value of 03/01/18
=[DPP Start Date]49 + 5
The result is 03/01/185
What is wrong with my syntax?
That is bizarre. And shouldn't be showing up like that. I would contact support and find out what is going on. When you say date formatted cell... Do you mean Date formatted column type? If you right-click on the column header, and choose Properties does it show Date or Number as your Column type? It should be set to date.
Hi Mike, I meant date formatted columns. It is bizarre because when I try other calculations like =[DPP Start Date]49 + (30*0.4) it returns an 03/01/1812.
If I enter =[DPP Start Date]49 - 5 ir returns #INVALID OPERATION
I will note that I am in a 30 day trial period of Smartsheets
I would contact support and see what they have to say. I doubt that being on a 30day trial would be an issue.
Is the column you are pulling the date from a Date Formatted column?
The column where the formula resides is a Date Formatted column
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
