Auto filling a Formula

I am using a formula to do a COUNTIFS based on Dates, a drop down YES/NO column and a name.

I am wondering if it possible to auto fill the name portion of the formula from another cell.

The formula looks like this:

=COUNTIFS($Date:$Date, <=DATE(2017, 6, 30), $Completed:$Completed, ="Yes", $[Assigned to: Editor]:$[Assigned to: Editor], ="XXXX")

Is it possible to have the information that says "XXXX" in the formula above be auto populated from a name in a cell on that row?

So if I put the name "John Doe" in the cell [Assigned to Editor] row 3, the name "John Doe" replaces the "XXXX"

Hi Mark,

Yes, it will work!

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Have a fantastic week!

Thanks Andree,

I have sent an email with a screen shot but will also put it up here.

Basically I am looking at the 2 red squares,

What I want is if I input a name in the Editor column, I need it to put that name into the formula that I shared on the community page of smartsheets,

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes. You would just need to add the cell reference.

=COUNTIFS($Date:$Date, <=DATE(2017, 6, 30), $Completed:$Completed, ="Yes", $[Assigned to: Editor]:$[Assigned to: Editor], =[Assigned to: Editor]3)

Lookup Value Issues
I am trying to populate a column from Sheet A into Sheet B and Sheet C. My Lookup column for Sheet A is formatted as such so there is a ' in front to account for ones that have a leading 0 and some do not. Each ID should be 6 digits long. I made a helper column looking at this Dealer ID column to try and get rid of that…

Index Distinct Support
I would like to parse out this data by creating a listing with a row for each person, for each project they appear on, for each month. I think this would only give me the groupings anyways, but this doesnt seem to even get me started - it popped up then people have disappeared.
