Auto-fill based on Column value

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?

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 team

Joe

Moe

Jen

Niki

Crew Allocated = Internal or external crews (Dropdown list)

Company Name

Crew 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!

I would like to set up an automation that, each morning, checks to see if there are records waiting to be approved, and if there are, sends an…
How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them.

License Question
I already have a Smartsheet license with my company, but I was recently invited to collaborate on a sheet owned by another group within the same organization. When I accepted, I was told I need to upgrade in order to edit or contribute. Can you please explain why this is required? It seems unreasonable to need multiple…
