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!

Is this still not an option?

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 sheet that shows the stock of all promotional items across several locations and I'm trying to set up conditional formatting to highlight the cell if it's less than or equal to the min amount. I can do this manually for every row but wondering if there's a way to do this similar to how excel & Google sheets have…
Hi, We just established a governance when we migrated to USM. One of the new controls is restricting the notifications to users under our account and users shared to the asset. Before we set the control, notifications were unrestricted AND we allowed users to collaborate between the Slack application. Is there a workaround…
Any ETA on when this outage will be resolved? Our health system asked me to reach out. Thanks!
