LOOKUP documentation mismatch

J. Craig Williams

The formula documentation:

 

http://help.smartsheet.com/articles/775363-using-formulas

 

gives these as the arguments:

 

LOOKUP(value, collection, return_column_index, collection_match)

 

while the Template for Formula examples gives these arguments:

 

LOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_range, return_column_index, range_lookup)

 

The fourth argument (collection_match) is clear in the doc but unclear in the example (range_lookup -- when there is already a lookup_range)

 

Please update the example template to match the clearer documentation.

 

This request applies throughout the template example - if there is a reason for there to be a different naming convention in the examples than that of the doc, I would love to hear it.

Hi Craig—thanks for catching this; we're looking in to getting the formula example template changed to match the wording of the Help Center article.

Is there any expected date on an update to the Formula template?

Any update on when we can expect the updated template?

It looks like the template has been removed, so I had to remove the link to it from the Help Center.

 

I'm in the process of tracking down who previously was responsible for that template so I can take control of it.

That's odd.

 

I would swear that when I clicked on the Use Template from here

earlier today it opened up my copy of version 2.0 (August 2016) as it used to do.

(Opens up user copy if they have already downloaded it).

Now it is opening up version 1.5d

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on but I'm definitely trying to find out and get it fixed.
