Hello
I have a Due Date column and Completion Date column, how do I set up a formula to show when the completion date is past the due date and highlights it?
Thanks
Hi
In order to do this I believe you need a "helper" column. This is a column set up on the sheet to provide some logic which will drive your conditional format. The helper column doesn't need to be visible.
I would set up a checkbox column called something like Is Overdue? with the following formula =IF([Completion Date]@row > [Date Due]@row, 1, 0)
Then in the conditional formatting screen you would use the Is Overdue column to define the formatting for the Completion Date column. See screen shot below.
Hope this helps

Hi Amanda,
You'll need to use a so-called helper column with a formula that checks the dates and then use that for the conditional formatting rule.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
