Auto Populate from Forms

Hello everyone

I have created a form to gather data, from there i the sheet i've created an automation out of it to show in my dashboard. My problem is, i could not find a way that a certain column with formula updates automatically without dragging it?

Here is my formula:

=IF(AND(ISTEXT([Row ID]2), ISBLANK([Logistics Personnel - Assigned]2)), "Open", IF([Case Status]2 = "In-Progress", "In - Progress", IF([Case Status]2 = "Under 3PL / Carrier Investigation", "Under 3PL / Carrier Investigation", IF([Case Status]2 = "Awaiting for Payment", "Awaiting for Payment"))))

i want to have the autofill formula updated once a "case status" has been triggered.

thank you

Hello Andree

I have a worksheet which i created a form. From that form, there are additional columns which is the figure below.

Once a form is submitted, i the Admin of it will make an assignment from the columns above.

"Case Status" will be a drop down selection, then your Helper case status is an automated fmla which is:

My question is, once a form is submitted, i want to have the specific row to autopopulate the formula in my " Helper Case Status". Is that viable? or do i need to drag the formula once a new form is submitted?

thank you

Happy to help!

Yes, it's possible. (see below for details)

Would that work?

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

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.
