Is it possible to color code the Empty, Quarter, Half, Three Quarter, and Full Harvey balls?

Anthony Staley

I'd like to combine 2 input columns into a single color coded harvey ball. For simplicity lets say 1 column is ProgressInput (Empty, Quarter, Half, etc) and the other is StatusInput (Red,Yellow, Green). For the output column on a dashboard report I would want to see a quarter-full ball with either red, yellow, green or a half-full ball colored either red, yellow, green. Thank you!

Hi @Anthony Staley

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment with Smartsheets Symbol options, but it's an excellent idea!

As a possible workaround, you could maybe use an Emoji, UNICHAR, CHAR, or similar.

Great resource that Paul Newcome put together

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!
