Wondering if there is a way to sort rows of a sheet on open.
Otherwise you have to set this up manually each time. If this is a smart sheet you would think it would be able to do this.

From my research, I understand there isn't a way to keep formulas when exporting from Smartsheet into an Excel document. I have a total of 50 columns with formulas and would think there was a quicker way to grab the formulas. So far, I've appended a "!" which turns the formula into text which does export. However, I'm not…
I currently have 14 sheets with the following columns: Batch # and Reviewer I use an Index Distinct formula to acquire the unique batch numbers from all 14 sheets and put them into 14 columns on the 'metrics' sheet.

Hello, I am looking for formula help where I want to return the earliest date in a range for different workstreams groups on a project.
