At my company we have certain dates when we do not make changes to our website (holidays usually). I'd like to be able to highlight or somehow flag a task if it falls within one of the freeze date ranges. Is there a way to do this?
How many different freeze ranges are there? If there aren't many, then you could build a nested if statement that would flag the row if the date is greater than or less than the date range. If there are a ton, I would consider keeping those ranges documented in a separate spreadsheet and do a countif statement that uses cross-sheet references to flag if there is the date on your current row meets the requirements of the holiday ranges on the other sheet. If it does, and the count is greater than 0 you could have it flag the row.
=IF(COUNTIFS({Cross Ref - Start Date Range 1}, <=[Due Date]1, {Cross Ref -End Date Range 2}, >=[Due Date]1), 1, 0)
To create a cross-sheet reference you have to click on the link in the formula helper to reference another sheet.
See my screenshot to see the formula in action.

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…

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 am needing a formula that calculates Termination Date (date property). The formula needs to look at Initiation Date (date property) and Term (text/num) which is based on # months, to calculate Termination Date. In this example, the termination date should return a value of 1/01/26. Thank you!
