Hello,
I've set my CF rule to look like the screen shot I have attached. I've been over it for what seems like 100x but it's just not working. Can someone please help?
Hello Sydni,
Although conditional formatting should override manual formatting, sometime it hiccups. I'd try clearing the formatting from the 2 columns (see image below).
If your values have been copied from elsewhere or are being calculated via a formula, perhaps also test manually creating values to eliminate issues with the data.
Bear in mind too that your CF rule is applied to the whole row. If you are looking to match your screenshot, you will need to adjust the rule to apply to only the JOB COST TO DATE column.
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
Hi Chris!
Thanks for the response. I cleared everything out and made sure that I only had the CF applied to the JOB COST TO DATE and still nothing. Clearly, I am doing something wrong, I've tried this every different way I can think of, deleted it when it didn't work and tried something new. More than likely, user error.
Hi Sydni,
No idea to be honest. Your CF looks OK, so I'm stumped.
Have you tried creating a new sheet and testing CF with 2 cells? You don't need to rename them, just set them to a Currency format and give it a go.
Another workaround could also be to create a PROJECT DELTA column to the right:
=[ADJUSTED PROJECT COST]1 - [JOB COST TO DATE]1
And then set up your CF based on this new column. If PROJECT DELTA is less than 0 then apply this format to the 'JOB COST TO DATE' column
Hope you get it sorted.
Wondering if anyone knows how to include a link on a Dashboard to other Smartsheet grids/ reports with icons (not just a list)- here's an example :
I am trying to pull together a view of my portfolio that takes 7 projects and pulls the milestones. I want to be able to have the seven projects each be able to expand/collapse individually, ideally from the dashboard, however, I'm having difficulty figuring this out. Seems like it is an all or nothing setup. I have my…
When selecting a contact from the dropdown list in a 'Contact list' type column (used to assign leads for tasks), only the email address appears in the cell when a contact is selected, but in the address book the name + surname and email address is listed for each person. How can this be fixed? Thanks
