How to ensure the formula gets "AUTO FILLED" whenever a new row is added to the smartsheet?

Mindfull

I wan to ensure that as a new row is added to the smartsheet database the formula gets "AUTO FILLED" in the newly added row.

Thanks

There need to be two rows above and/or below the added row that are of the same hierarchy and contain the formulas.

Mindfull

can you explain bit more?

If the new row is row 3, then rows 1 and 2, or rows 4 and 5 need to be of the same hierarchy and have the formula in them before the new row is added for auto-fill to work.

Hi @Prajna Jain

The new row will be auto-filled with the formulas if there are two rows below/above with the same formulas.

More details:

If the formula structure is the same above/below the Formula Autofill will add the formula(s) automatically.

Conditions That Trigger Formula Autofill

You’ll see formulas populate automatically when you type in a newly inserted or blank row that is:

• Directly between two others that contain the same formula in adjacent cells.
• At the topmost of the sheet if it’s above two rows that have the same formula in adjacent cells. (This includes rows inserted from a form.)
• At the bottommost of the sheet if it’s below two rows that have the same formula in adjacent cells. (This includes rows inserted from a form.)
• Above or below a single row that is between blank rows and has formulas.
