Add a Metric widget on a dashboard that shows last modified date & time
I am trying to add a metric widget to a dashboard that shows both the date and time from the last modified column in a sheet. It seems I can only bring in date, not time. Is there a way to show both elements?
Thanks.

Hi Andrée:
Thanks for the quick response. The data I am pulling from is comes from a sheet with a System column type "Modified (date). Data in the sheet cell is in the format of date/time (MM/DD/YY 00:00PM). The process I am following on my Dashboard is to edit or add a Metric Widget. I do not see or understand where I could add +”” to the end of my formula as there is none. Perhaps I misunderstood your intent. Please advise.

Ok. That wont work. You'll need to add a so-called helper column or use the Sheet Summary section if you have access to it.
Make sense?

Hi William,
Yes, Try adding +”” to the end of your formula. It will convert the result to text.
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
