Andree..
Appreciate your support.
Below screenshot you will find I created two rows with same data..
Would it be possible I someone input the duplicate data using the form it should popup a message( information already exist so that no one enter duplicate data and add a new row )
Instead of adding the same duplicate row its should popup line already exist something like this..?
Happy to help!
Unfortunately, it's not possible to get a message in the form about it, but it could work to get an update request sent if there is duplicate data already in the sheet. Do you want to check a specific field or a combination of fields?
Would that work?
Andrée
Combination of fields.Could you please provide the steps how to do it.
this means, if there fields are same it should send an email to the user that he has submitted a duplicate entry.
Thanks
Hi Andree,
Can you please support here..Thanks!
If possible, I would use a combination of the JOIN function and a checkbox column type.
Add a new column and add the formula below (change the column names as needed)
This formula will JOIN together the columns chosen in a string of text.
=JOIN([Request Name]@row:[Assigned PM:]@row; " ")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=JOIN([Request Name]@row:[Assigned PM:]@row, " ")
Add another column and set it as a checkbox type column (change column name as needed)
This formula will check for duplicates in the text string created with the JOIN function above.
=IF(COUNTIF(Join:Join; Join@row) > 1; 1; 0)
=IF(COUNTIF(Join:Join, Join@row) > 1, 1, 0)
You could then add an Alert and Action update request rule that would trigger from the checkbox combined with a date or something else to only trigger for the latest entry that is a duplicate.
Getting an error with the formula.
Also can you help how to set the alert and action so that when the auditors try to submit the duplicate form he get an trigger automatically
Where are you located?
The formula is different depending on your region.
It also looks like you need to change the column name or the reference to it (Join) in the formula.
Didn't get you..please fix the error the screenshot
Where are you located? (which country?)
Hi Jimmy,
How did it go? Did you manage to get something set up?
Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!
I made a mistake and end up deleting information from one of my sheets, but now I cannot find a way to recover a previous version of this sheet to recover my original file. I need help to fix this, and it seems Smartsheet is really lacking this recovery feature for everything I'm reading and checking online. Any help or…
Has anyone figured out a way to use a column as a created date but not have the time stamp? It causes problems for my manager trying to use that date to pull into PBI. I know how to convert in a helper column to a year-month and a year, but those have to be text/number columns, not date columns and he can't use those…
I am looking for a way to automate a cell so that when column A displays 9 'Days Open' (or between the values 0-14) the 'Req Age' will auto populate (or trigger) the ranges provided. Image below: I want the highlighted section to auto populate based on the value in 'Days Open'
