Row number calculations as part of a formula

Hi there,

I'm trying to replace the value of a row number in a formula. I have created a rowID column so each row has a row number in that column.

I would like to make calculations from that to replace the row number part of a cell reference with calculated value

i.e. =Status123

i want to be =Status(row#+Y)

How do I achieve this?

Unfortunately that's not currently possible within Smartsheet. Feel free to submit a Product Enhancement Request.

In the mean time... If you are able to provide more detail and possibly some screenshots with sensitive/confidential data removed or replaced with "dummy data", we may be able to come up with a workaround.

Hi,

Would you need it to be able to update continuously or just once? How many rows?

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)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,
