I have a drop down box containing staff member names, when selected I want it displayed automatically in the "Assigned to" column our company name. I have searched help but so far no luck, can someone assist? cheers.
Hi Jason,
I'm not sure what you want to accomplish. Can you explain a little more in detail what you want to do?
Best,

Hi Andree,
We (>8 users) use Smartsheet to track construction jobs Australia wide using multiple crews however we also have 8 members of our own. What I’m looking for would be a VLOOKUP?. If I select one of our members in a drop down column I’ve created I want in another column, in our case “Crew Allocated” our business name to automatically fill.
The idea behind this is that in a new sheet (yet to be created) I will have only these jobs displayed for another manager, I’m a new user with limited experience.
Hi, again Jason,
Assigned = Your teamJoeMoeJenNiki
Crew Allocated = Internal or external crews (Dropdown list)Company NameCrew 1 (External)Crew 2 (External)Crew 3 (External)Crew 4 (External)
Formula in Crew Allocated=IF(Assigned1 = "Joe"; "Company Name"; IF(Assigned1 = "Moe"; "Company Name"; IF(Assigned1 = "Jen"; "Company Name"; "Crew 1 (External)")))
Would this work for you?
I hope this helps you!
Thanks Andree, have not had a chance to try but by the look of it, it's what I'm looking for. Will let you know. Hope I can call on you again.
Regards
Jason.
Happy to help!
Let me know how it works for you?

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with my current Smartsheet experience. I have paid for a Pro subscription, I am the owner and administrator of my account and sheets, and I have confirmed I am logged into the correct account. Despite this, Smartsheet is not recognizing my Pro subscription, and I am unable to…
