Looking for a way to write a formula to lock rows if a cell has a specific value in it, or hide the rows.
Any ideas?
Hi,
You can set this with the help of "Alerts & Actions" and the "Lock a Row" feature.
There is no way to hide the row, but you could change the color with conditional formatting and otherwise, filters and reports are the best bet.
I hope this helps you!
Best,

Ok, thanks, I did not think it was possible, but wanted to ask.
What about adding a .png to a cell based on a formula?
Happy to help!
As far as I know, it isn't possible to add images based on formulas.
Ok, bummer, thank you!
Can you take a look at this and tell me where I am wrong?
=IF(Answers22 = "", "", TODAY()),OR(IF(Answers22 = "No", "", TODAY()))
What are you trying to do? Can you share the sheet or some screenshots?
=IF(Answers22 = "", "", TODAY()) <-this is a complete function
The system doesn't know what to do with anything after that because it's complete already.
At a glance, it looks like you need a nested IF statement. What inputs do you want to return with which values?
So for the Nested is it:
=IF(OR(Answers22 ="",Answers22="No",TODAY()) ?
Here you go
If it is NULL return NULL, if it is No return NULL else date()
=IF(OR(Answers22 = "", Answers22 = "No"), "", TODAY())
Your OR function belongs in the logical statement of your IF function.
The only issue with this for you would be that TODAY() will automatically update to the current date every time you open the sheet. Smartsheet does not currently provide time stamp capabilities.
Hi all, I am trying to build out a formula that will return "True" if the CIF #@row can be found above it in the same column (CIF #) AND the Days Since Created is between 30 - 365 days. All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
