Auto populate Assigned to based on reference
We have a project plan template and populate the 'assigned to' column with the role/title.
Once I copy the new project plan template, how could I automatically update the 'assigned to' by task based on a role/name mapping.
Could I have a project resources sheet with role and name and have the Project Plan tasks 'assigned to' fields auto populate with the role - name mapping?

Hi,
you can definitely achieve what you are looking for with a VLOOKUP formula!
What you need is :
- a Master sheet with one column with the role/name and one column with the corresponding "assigned to"
- to modify your template to put a formula in the "assigned to" column.
The formula will use a cross sheet reference. For more info you can look at this page : https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476606-formulas-reference-data-from-other-sheets?_ga=2.133122638.1502807148.1530523732-1065138192.1513871746
I hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Paul.
