Hi there Smartsheet Guru's!
Im trying to figure out the best way to automate a progress bar, based of 9 columns that all have check boxes. Screenshot shown:
Hi @Paul Newcome - I'm also doing something similar, except I'm referencing a different sheet. This is the formula that keeps getting #UNPARSEABLE
=IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 1, "Empty", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 4, "Quarter", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 8, "Half", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) < 11, "Three Quarter", IF(COUNTIFS(CHILDREN({5060 Milestones Done}@cell), 1) = 13, "Full")))))
I tried replacing the 1 within the COUNTIFS with true and that unfortunately didn't work either. I've also tried using @row rather than @cell and that didn't work either.
@crokicki your COUNTIFS syntax is off for each of them. You also cannot use hierarchy based functions with cross sheet references. You would need a helper column on the source sheet that brings the parent row data down onto every child row and then include that in the COUNTIFS.
I would also suggest making it more dynamic so that it doesn't matter how many children are there, it will calculate based on the percentage of children that are checked.
COUNTIFS({Helper Column}, @cell = "5060", {Checkbox Column}, @cell = 1) / COUNTIFS({Helper Column}, @cell = "5060")
The above would give you
0 = 0 = "Empty"
0.25 = 25% = "Quarter"
0.50 = 50% = "Half"
0.75 = 75% = "Three Quarter"
1 = 100% = "Full"
Hey. Is there an easy automation that will send an e-mail to alert someone when a date is 30 days and 90 days old? I read there are some workarounds with helper columns and formulas but really really hoping there is a simple way to do this in 2026 and I'm just missing it…
I'm wondering if this is even possible. I have two sheets tracking monthly projects, one being a monthly content calendar and the other being our outsourced media. I have a formula created on our outsource media to update the parent status to "sent/complete "when all monthly tasks are completed (see first screenshot). My…
I have a grid with date from multiple users. I want to be able to send out a message each month to the user showing only the entries they provided. For example, Leo would get one message showing his client, date, program name and #_participants. While Sandy would get one message with the two different clients and the…
