Automatic data related to the check of another cell

AP

Hello,

I need that the data insert in a cell (column Data Open) will be automatically determined in relation to the data when the related cell of the row was ticked.

Could you please help me?

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

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 week!

Hello,

as indicated in the screenshot, I need that when I tick a field of the Status columns, automatically the system update the related field Data with the insert tick data.

Thanks and regards.

If I understand correctly then it would probably work. Would the data be on the same row or always like you show in the screenshot?

At moment we insert the data manually. We need that the columns Data should be update automatically with the system data, related to when the user tick the specific status. For example, We want that user tick today a cell of the "Status open" and the system automatically will update the related field "Data open" with the today data.

As of right now, there is no way to timestamp a specific action within Smartsheet. To be able to do this, you would need to either use a 3rd party app such as Zapier or the Smartsheet API.

Do you want to timestamp cells? Not sure that is what you're asking.

If yes, Paul is correct, and I'd recommend the third-party integration called Zapier.

Hi,

excus me if my description is not clear. I need that:

1. user tick the cell related to the column "Status Open".
2. the system insert automatically in the cell related to the column "Data Open", the system data linked to the activity of the 1st point (now we insert this date manually).

Paul Newcome

In this case, yes. You will need an outside app to automate this. Andree suggests Zapier, and from what I can tell that's a pretty good choice.

Ok, thanks a lot.

Happy to help.

It definitely sounds like Zapier would work excellent for what you need.

Let me know if I can help in any way!

Best,
