I would like to run a calculation with a circular reference =IF(Date1 = [1]1, 100 - Total1, [1]3). This allows me to keep the cell as is if the IF statement is false. Is this possible? [1]3 is the circular reference.
Can you give some context behind this? What is the reason and how do you plan to use it? As it is, your formula will not work, but there may be a workaround depending on the details of exactly what you need.

If needed, more information on this can be found in our help articles:

I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
