I need to keep accurate documentation of how long my deliveries take (down to the minute) I normally do this in spreadsheets by having the column formatted as a time. I cannot see that option in the formatting list. Am I blind or is it not there?
Hi Tash,
Unfortunately, Smartsheet doesn't have a Time specific column just yet, but it's coming.
A workaround could be to use a dropdown list, and it's also possible to set up a solution where you can select the start time and end time to calculate the total time.
Another option could be a time measuring add-ons/plugin that you can use together with Google Chrome.
Can you describe your process in more detail so that I can maybe give you a better recommendation?
Have a fantastic weekend!

I had to add a lot of helper columns to make a workaround. My first column is the start timestamp. My next 3 helper columns break down the hour and minutes then convert them to decimal. I do the same thing with my end timestamp. Then I do the calculation. I also have to reconvert it to minutes for another project. Seems like a lot of work, but once it's done, it's done. It's definitely ugly, but it does the trick until SmartSheet can figure out how to make it a standard function. Hope it helps.

I have a form that will be filled out internally. There's a cell labeled "Department" which contains 8 dropdown list values. There's a another cell called "Executives" which are the leaders of these departments. In the form, I'm attempting to do a logic where when you choose a specific "Department", then the cell…
I shared access to a user to a specific folder under workspace A (folder is 2025-09-Service Factory). However, I can see that he's shown to have access to all the other child folders under 02-ACTIVE Initiatives. Why is that when I only shared out one folder? Is there a way to only share access to users to ONLY specific…
