Does anyone know if there is a way to produce a report or a list of rows whereby Column A has changed in the last n number of days? I'm trying to produce an exec level weekly report of key projects whose end dates that have changed in the last week.
You would need to include a date type column where users can enter the date that they changed the data in Column A. If Column A is the only column that would be changing once a row is put into place, you could use a system generated Modified (date) type column.
Unfortunately though, if there are other columns in the row changing, the changes would have to be manually date stamped as there is no feature (yet) that allows for an automatic date and/or time stamp of a specific action.
Thank you, Paul. We are playing around with using the sys gen mod date field but as you pointed out, many other columns on the row can also be changed.
You may be able to use a 3rd party app such as Zapier or possibly the Smartsheet API to pull the date/time stamp for a specific action within a set column, but otherwise since multiple cells within the row are changing, you would need to have users manually enter the date/time of the change.
I am not very familiar with the API (at all). I do know though that Zapier links to Smartsheet very easily. I am not sure of exactly the setup you would need within Zapier to accomplish this, but it is generally pretty user friendly.
Hi Mary,
The third-party service, Zapier is an excellent option for this scenario. Is that an option for you?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

From my research, I understand there isn't a way to keep formulas when exporting from Smartsheet into an Excel document. I have a total of 50 columns with formulas and would think there was a quicker way to grab the formulas. So far, I've appended a "!" which turns the formula into text which does export. However, I'm not…
I currently have 14 sheets with the following columns: Batch # and Reviewer I use an Index Distinct formula to acquire the unique batch numbers from all 14 sheets and put them into 14 columns on the 'metrics' sheet. I then use another index distinct to get a list of all the unique batch numbers into one 'Unique Batch…
Hello, I am looking for formula help where I want to return the earliest date in a range for different workstreams groups on a project. The source sheet is formatted as a date field, and the formula used below is returning a 0 no matter what I do. Any suggestions? =MIN(COLLECT({Project Plan - start date}, {Project Plan…
