Is there any way to work around dependencies in columns when entering in formulas?

Hi Aoaks,

Are you referring to a dependency column in a project sheet (i.e. the column linking task predecessors/successors)?

If so, no there is no way to get around this, as Smartsheet actually uses hidden formulas in project columns to calculate values.
