I'd like to know the best method for removing resources from Smartsheets without impacting the previous actual costs and future allocation to sheets
Hi Lifestyle PMO,
I think you may have to explain your question in greater detail to get the answer you're looking for.
Are you referring to removing resources from a project without affecting the already allocated tasks, hours, costs etc.?
Kind regards,

Lifestyle,
If I understand the question correctly, when you remove a user from your account, the rows where they are or were assigned tasks, actions, projects do not change. Removal will only impact their access to the objects they were shared to.
I hope that helps.

Hi,
That is correct. If i was to remove a resource from a project would it affect the actual costs that were calculated previously when they were part of the project or will that data remain the same

Hi Jags,
To answer this, I'd need to understand how you are calculating those costs. Are you using SUMIF to look for a Resource value and then SUM all the costs associated? If so, then yes removing the resource will affect your calculations.
It's important to remember that you're not really "adding" a resource to a project. You have contact columns that are only useful for differentiating, calculating resource allocation % (which is still really flaky), sending notifications/alerts etc. You can also share sheets/workspaces with members of your Enterprise Smartsheet account, along with external collaborators.
If I unshare a collaborator for a sheet, the fact that they are included in the Resource column will not matter. They will still be there. The same goes vice versa when you remove someone from the Resource column but still keep sharing.
Hope this makes sense.
Good afternoon, I work at a community college and we don't currently have a CRM solution that will help me with the work I am doing. I am trying to create something to track current and future contacts on an organizational level as well as individual. One company might have only one contact but in the case of a larger…
Would someone need View permission to a worksheet in order to see the data presented in a report?
I have a form and the first question is a required field. However, I have five entries (out of approximately 400) that have come into the sheet with no data for this required field. Has anyone seen this before? Any clue how this happened? Here's what I've checked: blank space is not an option (form won't let me submit)…
