Please share the formula that will auto populate the current date or "Todays Date" in the Completion Date column when the checkbox is populated in the "Done" field.
Hi Lazina,
The TODAY function will always update to the current date so tomorrow it will show that date so to get the date to stick you'd need to use a third-party solution like Zapier or the Smartsheet API.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

I need to know how to write the formula that will populate into the completion date field? example formula: =If(Done), 1=(Today()). I understand how to populate todays date field "Today()" I want todays date to ONLY populate when the "check box" is populated in the "Done" field for that row item. I'm not able to use outside solution such as Zapier, How do I use Smartsheet API?
Try something like this.
=IF(Done@row = 1; TODAY())
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(Done@row = 1, TODAY())
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Here's some more information about the Smartsheet API: https://developers.smartsheet.com/
Did it work?

Thanks for the guidance on developing the formula. I'm learning more and more about developing formulas to automate my work and others.
Excellent!
Happy to help!
Each row has a unique ID and I use this to generate two different hyperlinks in excel with this =HYPERLINK(CONCAT("http://www.XXXXX/",A3),"URL") Is there a workaround in Smartsheets to do similar?
I have Idea IDs that appear on two different sheets (sheet A, sheet B), and I have a column on sheet B called "Update needed?" Sheet A also has an Idea status column. I need a column formula for sheet B's "update needed" to be set to Yes if sheet A's Idea ID=sheet B's Idea ID for that row AND sheet A's status is "Not…
=SUMIF({Stores Daily Log Range 8}, "1000000456", {Stores Daily Log Range 9}) Hi I am adding figures from the above sheet to another sheet using criterias. everything works until I add another line in the log then the Range does not automatically pick up the new line. Is there a way to do this please.
