Hi
I don't seem to be able to affix any text to =PARENT()? I want to have each of 6 child rows as:
=PARENT().01
=PARENT().02
=PARENT().03
=PARENT().04
=PARENT().05
=PARENT().06
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Cheers
Richard
You would need to use something along the lines of
=PARENT() + ".01"
Arh, thanks Paul
No worries.
Is there any way to make it self increment for the children under the parent?
and also, i see how you add, how could i remove to do this:
00.00.00 as the parent, and then increment the children below like:
00.00.01, 00.00.02, 00.00.03, 00.00.04. Ie I think you would need to remove the 00 and then replace with 01 and increment from there.
I haven't been able to find a fully automated way. Unfortunately every way I have found thus far requires some manual entry.
I found a way that requires 1 helper column for the first level of Hierarchy and 2 helper columns for every level after that. It does NOT hold up to sorting, but will hold up to the addition/deletion of rows as well as changes to the levels. The published link is below. The formulas are in row 1, row 2 is a buffer, and row 3 starts the actual sheet. If you were to delete rows 1 and 2, you would change any row 3 references to row 1 references ([Column Name]$3 becomes [Column Name]$1).

Hi Paul
That's brilliant, thanks.
Not wanting to push it! I like to do a preceding '0' on single digit numbers so that all numbers are two digit allowing me to go to 99. Is that something easily achievable. No worries if not, I'll take what you've given me. Much appreciated.
Go ahead and take a look now. Let me know what you think.
Looks good.... apart from where line 10 starts, I would of thought this should be '02.01' and line 14 be '02.02' and line 17 be '03.01' etc...
Good catch. Standby...
Sorry for the delay. We are getting some winter weather here. Anyway... Take another look. I am confident I have it set now...
Happy Thursday. I know many have asked this question before, but does anyone know of a way to have a column actively countdown time? Even if a plugin is needed, it will be considered. Here is what I'm looking to do. When a form is filled out and a new line is added to the sheet, I'd like the "Countdown Timer" column to…
I'm trying to pull in the contact information of a second HR Business Partner, contingent on the department of the individual, from a separate reference sheet. However, not all departments have a second HRBP— so if the column of "second HRBP contact info" is blank, I don't want anything to be pulled into the new sheet's…
I have an automation set up so that when the Status column changes to Complete, Canceled, or Not Needed, Smartsheet automatically updates the % Complete column to 100% (Text/Number column type). After that, another workflow should trigger to alert the next person that their task is ready. This worked fine before, but…
