Smartsheet Forms - Apostrophe automatically added to formula

DominicR

Hi All,

I've just started creating a Smartsheet form for people to easily add data however one cell should just be a formula so I'm using the 'Default Value' under field options but when the form is submitted an apostrophe is automatically added to the front of the formula rendering it useless without editing it. I've attached some screenshots so hopefully someone can help!

Thanks,

Dominic

Hi Dominic,

It's because you can't use formulas in forms. There is a workaround where you'd create at least two identical rows with the formulas, and that would then autofill on the row of the submitted form.

Would that work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,
