Automating Day of the Week Lanes in Card view

Hi all,

We're using Smartsheet to plan content development and scheduling for a radio station. We'd like to create lanes in the Card View for each day of the week (I already know how to do that part). But each row in grid view already has a broadcast date assigned to it, which of course feeds the Calendar view.

I'd like to try and automate, or auto-generate the day of the week from the date column into the Weekday Card lane.

Has anybody seen or done this?

Thanks,

David

This formula will calculate the day of the week for you. Just replace Date Column with the actual name of your date column.

=IF(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 1, "Sunday", IF(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 2, "Monday", IF(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 3, "Tuesday", IF(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 4, "Wednesday", IF(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 5, "Thursday", IF(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 6, "Friday", IF(WEEKDAY([Date Column]@row) = 7, "Saturday")))))))

That's great, I didn't even think to go looking for a "Weekday" function!

Cheers!

David, I'm interested in your experience using SmartSheet for your radio station. We have the same challenges...everything from schedule management to licensed-music reporting. How is it working out for you?

A multiple SUMIF function
My current formula is below. I would like to update this so that I only get a total of those that have been Quoted and have a timeframe data of 2025. How do I add this extra filter into the formula? =SUMIF(Status:Status, "Quoted", [Est. GP]:[Est. GP])
Missing column in Report if I use a formula
I'm not able to "view by" a field that I have in my sheets - Quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) - in my report. I think it is because I have used a formula to calculate the quarters in my sheets. Does anyone know a way to get a formula based field on the dropdown for view by in my report?
SUMIF function not working
=SUMIFS({GM Compliance Trained}, {GM Compliance Training Dept}, Department@row , {Compliance Training Date}, MONTH(7, 8, 9)) GM Compliance Trained is the number of employees trained. I am trying to sum the number of employees trained in each department during 3rd quarter (July 1-Sep 30). Thinking I need an IFERROR in there…
