Forcing duration and start date to a specific value on Gantt

ilene_healy68056

Dear Community,

Is it possible to set a formula so that the Start Date always equals the End Date and that the Duration is always '0'?  We are tracking key milestones and are only provided the End Date.  I'd like to reduce the manual entry to automatically make the Start Date match the End Date and ensure that the Duration is set to 0 so that they show up as milestones on our Gantt chart.

Thanks for any advice

Hi Ilene,

It sound like you're working with a project sheet (that has dependencies enabled). If so, it's important to know that formulas are not supported in project columns like the Start and Finish date.

Also, milestones only work when dependencies are enabled. If needed, more information on Project Settings can be found in our help article: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765737-project-sheet-columns-start-date-end-date-duration-complete-and-predecessors

I encourage you to submit a Product Enhancement Request to let our Product team know that you'd like to have the ability to do this in Smartsheet.
