Allowing Circular Reference

Shane Shelton

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.

Hi Shane,

It's currently not possible to bypass a circular reference error, but you could consider using the IFERROR function. This would stop you from seeing the error but there's isn't a way to have Smartsheet ignore the error completely and attempt run a calculation.

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

Forms only for new row items?
Hi Can you utilize forms to make data entry easier into a row that already exists?. For instance, if I have pre-populated a sheet with 100 rows/items can I use a form to update certain columns in these rows…to make columns with multiple lines of text easier to enter? Many thanks Matt
