Populate date fields per status changes

Hi,

I am running into an issue with populating date fields per status change. I have two date fields that reflect per status change.

For example:

If status change to "option 1" change this date field to today's date. If status should change to option 2 change second date field to today's date.

What I have currently:

=IF([Invoice Status]@row = "Awaiting MGR Approval", TODAY())

The field names:

- Invoice Status (status field)

- Date sent to Manager for Approval (date field)

- Date sent to MSC (date field)

The above wipes out one or the other date. Cannot be applied to both fields.

Thank you for your help!

From what I can gather, you are basically trying to timestamp the status changes. Is this correct?

That is correct.

Ok. Well SS does not currently have a timestamp feature outside of the Created and Modified columns. They are hopefully coming soon, but until then you would need to have the users manually enter the date of the change or leverage the API or a third party app such as Zapier.

Hi,

I agree with Paul.

Zapier is a great option for this scenario. Is that an option for you?

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Unparsable formula; Sheet summary SUMIF formula
Can anyone help why this formula is coming up as unparseable? I'm creating a sheet summary, where it totals the Estimated GP (Est. GP) column if the Status column has the "Quoted" drop-down option is selected. Formula i've used: =SUMIF(Status:Status,"Quoted",Est. GP:Est. GP) Thanks a lot!
