Formula equivalents from Excel to Smartsheet

We have imported some project trackers and found a lot of Unparseable results. I am trying to find equivalencies to make my formulas work. Below is an example.

=IF(C4=100%,TODAY()," ") In Smartsheet we tried this, =IF(Progress3=100%,TODAY()," ")

Is there a cheat sheet of sorts?

Haha. A cheat sheet. I wish. Welcome to the community! We'd be happy to provide you with a cheat sheet. The issue you are facing here is a poorly documented one. Percentages in Smartsheet are displayed in a percentage form but are actually parsed on the back end as a decimal. That being said, when you reference percentages in Smartsheet you will want to use a scale of 0 to 1. 100% = 1. 50% - 0.5. 25% = .25.

Try, =IF(Progress3 = 1,TODAY()," ")

Do be aware that Today() will add today's date, but it will update that date every day the sheet is opened. It won't put a persistent date, if that's your intention then you're good. Otherwise, you may want to have it write something else instead of Today().

The closest you'll find is a template. See image below.

Here are a couple helps that I reference on a regular basis when I am trying to replicate formulas or troubleshoot errors. Hopefully, one of these will help!

Folder Level Sharing
Circling back to this….. Another year goes by and still no folder level sharing. Smartsheet developers don't listen to their clients.
