Auto-filling columns in Smartsheet

I have created a form which captures computer name, name, and email address of the person on the smarsheet in addition to the other data they are submitting.

Is there a way I could use the formula to auto-fill name and email address for repeat users referencing the machine name either on the form or on smartsheet?

If you're using a contact column to capture the email address... not at this time. If you're just trying to capture it as text then you can do that using a vlookup comparison or an index / match combination to gather your data.

Here is some more information on those functions.

Index: See the notes for examples using index/match.

Forgot to mention that you'll want to use those alongside cross sheet references to make them work.

Index Distinct Support
I would like to parse out this data by creating a listing with a row for each person, for each project they appear on, for each month. I think this would only give me the groupings anyways, but this doesnt seem to even get me started - it popped up then people have disappeared.
