Hi,
I am trying to put a formula into a cell to say that if a check box is checked, put in the date that box was checked. I was able to do this before but it is no longer working. Is there still a way to do this?
Thanks.
You can have a formula that adds today's date, but the problem is that the TODAY function will update to the current date always so it will not store the date. You'd either have to add it manually, use a third-party solution like Zapier, the Smartsheet API, or create a workaround like locking the row and similar.
Would any of those methods work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Can you explain the work around more with locking the row?

If we use the automation and lock the row after the box gets checked, the Modified Date column would then fix on the date/time from that event but this only works, if there aren't any more changes, are needed for the row.
Make sense?
One other method, but it's more advanced, would be to use the third-party service, Zapier, to add the date to another column for when the box gets checked. Is that an option?
I created a new sheet for my team by replicating an older sheet and now my tasks aren't pulling into my task report or any of my teammates. I confirmed the sheet was selected in my report but it still isn't pulling in. I've never had an issue with this before so would love some advice on troubleshooting.
Can someone help me and give me an idea on how to create a cost estimate for installations, with a total for each chapter by groups, subgroups and types of work, but at the bottom of each chapter. https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/0OSH46KSC2LH/cost-estimate.xlsx Thanks
Hi Everyone, I created some forms for our powdercoat test logs. The forms are working great for the employees to input the data. The problem I am having is with giving the supervisors and managers access to the sheet. I gave them Editor Cannot Share permissions to see and edit the sheet. But they are saying that Smartsheet…
