How do i create a formula that shows there are duplicates.
I would like it to have a check box in a column showing that "Sarah Jensen" has duplicate expense submission based off Consultant Name, Date of Receipt,Total Expense.
Hi,
Here is how I worked this request -
See the screenshot - I hope this helps?

You could skip the helper column and just include the additional column criteria in a COUNTIFS instead of a COUNTIF.
.
=COUNTIFS([Consultant Name]:[Consultant Name], [Consultant Name]@row, [Date of Receipt]:[Date of Receipt], [Date of Receipt]@row, [Total Expense]:[Total Expense], [Total Expense]@row)
This will count how many rows have the same data in those 3 columns as the row the formula is currently sitting on. In your screenshot, going down the rows it would populate
2
1
We can then leverage that result in an IF statement to check your box if there are any rows that have a number higher than 1 meaning there is more than one row with matching data.
=IF(COUNTIFS(..........) > 1, 1, 0)
So the finalized formula in the checkbox column would look something like this...
=IF(COUNTIFS([Consultant Name]:[Consultant Name], [Consultant Name]@row, [Date of Receipt]:[Date of Receipt], [Date of Receipt]@row, [Total Expense]:[Total Expense], [Total Expense]@row) > 1, 1, 0)

Hi all, I have a bunch of underlying sheets that have the exact same setup due to a template and it has a status field with a drop-down of about half a dozen different options that go sequential order from not started to complete and verified as complete from leadership. We also have hierarchy so there is level 0, 1 and 2…
We are using Smartsheet for a sign up process with forms and automations. However, automation emails seem to have a limit of 20 rows per email. We need assistance in finding a way to increase this limit or explore alternative solutions.
