I'm seeking the ability to set a dropdown value (e.g. "New" in "Status" column) when adding a row to a sheet via either manual entry or (more likely) using the Outlook add-in.
Is there a way to do that?
Hi,
Yes, there is. You could have a formula in the Status column, and as long as at least two previous/following rows have the same formulas, it will work.
You might have to restructure the design so the rows would be added to the top instead or add a divider with two rows with the formula because I assume that you'd want to change the Status, and that would delete the formula.
Something like this.
Try something like this.
=IF(ISBLANK(Primary@row); ""; "New")
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(ISBLANK(Primary@row), "", "New")
Depending on your country, you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
