Hello All,
I am using this formula =TODAY() - [Date Field Checked]3 but I need to stop this count when the item is complete.
Could someone please help out?
How does the user signify complete? Check box, status text, or % Complete.
By stop the count, do you want it to return blank when complete or keep the last value?
Smartsheet does not do the second one -- I use Zapier for that if I have to. Or the API.
If just blank then
Assuming you have a checkbox in a column name Done
=IF(Done@row,"",TODAY() - [Date Field Checked]@row)
I hope this helps.

Hi Craig,
Thank you. I would like it to just store the value. They check "Partial- holding for rework" or "complete". As soon as complete is checked I just want it to hold.
Smartsheet won't do that.
It needs a toggle function or a set-reset function, which is does not have.
If this is a single sheet or a small fixed set of sheets, I would use Zapier.
What you are looking for an accumulator, not a counter. Now that I think about it, the API might be easier to implement such a thing.

The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
Hi all, reaching out to see if of you have ideas; I'm hoping this makes sense: I'm having some trouble getting my formulas to pull data in correctly. I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have #'s that pull from each project into each sheet's - sheet summary. Those then get pulled into a sheet summary report. They are currently grouped by what channel they are in. Each column gives a total sum. I was asked to see if we can combine the total sum into one number, so it shows how many total SKU's are being…
