We are currently having issues with lines being overwritten when more than one team member is entering information into a sheet at the same time. Anyone else experiencing these issues?
Hi Emerus,
This thread might help: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/smartsheet-not-saving-consistently
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

The thread didn't really help. We sometimes have 3 to 4 people in the same sheet at one time entering data on new rows, but this just started happening during the last week.
Ok.
Has something changed that you're aware of?
If you haven’t already, I would recommend that you reach out to the Smartsheet Support Team. Smartsheet Support Team
Nothing has changed that I can think of. We have also had issues of columns being hidden without someone hiding it.
Have you checked the Activity Log?
The activity log would show you who did what. Also, we've seen that same issue from time to time and have defaulted to using a form to enter rows rather than having people work simultaneously in the same sheet. If you submit from a form you won't ever overwrite another form submission.
I would suggest a combination of both.
Activity log to see how the column got hidden and forms for the data entry to avoid overlap.
Yes, I agree with bot Mike and Paul that forms are an excellent way to avoid the issue.
Has anyone figured out a way to use a column as a created date but not have the time stamp? It causes problems for my manager trying to use that date to pull into PBI. I know how to convert in a helper column to a year-month and a year, but those have to be text/number columns, not date columns and he can't use those…
I am looking for a way to automate a cell so that when column A displays 9 'Days Open' (or between the values 0-14) the 'Req Age' will auto populate (or trigger) the ranges provided. Image below: I want the highlighted section to auto populate based on the value in 'Days Open'
Good morning, I haven't needed to do this is quit a while but I went to clean up the "Sheets" folder in my account and can no longer create a folder, sheet, or report in any area of that folder. The "Create" button at the top right takes me the templates page. This is what I am seeing vs what I can do within a workspace.…
