Time of day

As an event planner I need to assign start and end times i.e. 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. to meetings and tasks that need to be completed.

I can obviously type in the times, but they do not sort correctly as anything starting with a "1" regardless of AM or PM will shoot to the top. I can put a "0" in front of any AM times, such as 09:00 AM, but things gets mixed up with you get to the hours that begin with a "1".

Is there any workaround to this or any function I'm missing? Is there any move in the future to include a 24 hour gantt chart of sorts?

Hi Karen,

Is it always the same time periods? Like 9am-3pm, 10am-4pm and so on?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Have a fantastic weekend!

I would suggest taking the time you are trying to sort on and converting it to a 24 hour format. Then you can sort on that conversion. If you are trying to keep the 12 hour time with AM and PM, you can do the conversion in a helper column, hide it, then sort on the helper.

Time format column options are supposedly in-the-works... though there's no word on when we'll see it yet.

I know they are working on some things that have to do with time. I feel like since it is such a popular request, they will probably save the big announcement for their Engage conference if it is ready by then.

It's in the works, and I hope that it will get released before Engage. I can't wait! I got so many clients that would have a use for this.

Folder Level Sharing
Circling back to this….. Another year goes by and still no folder level sharing. Smartsheet developers don't listen to their clients.

Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful. What is the protocol for restoring this information? I've only done this before with the help of a representative and it was…
Why are my answers not showing up when a document is generated?
I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF. I have tried making the PDF again from scratch, I have tried copying and pasting the fields so I know they're the exact same…
