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.
Good day, I have the above simple automation to copy a row to another sheet when a specific checkbox is checked. I am having two issues: The automation does not run when the box is checked When I run the automation manually, all the rows in the first grid, are copied to the destination grid. How can I fix the automation…
Hi I ran into an issue today where my smartsheet timeline was updated without any user's input and several dates were changed cascading to the entire timeline. I tracked it down to several tasks and started correcting them, realising that there is some issue when dependencies are using regular "day" duration and some are…
Hi everyone! I need to set up an automation that is triggered within a set number of days before the date listed in a date field. I need the automation to send an alert email to a new hire at most 7 days before the start date. I know I can set the automation to send 1 week before the start date, but if the new hire's…
