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!

Is there a way to create a 3-digit padding for numbers
Hi all, and thanks in advance! I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180. I want something that will recognize whether it is 2 or 3…

Check box for date in previous month
