Need to default a column to a specific value after row is copied to another Sheet

bday2329

Good day,

I have a sheet that is used for tracking visitors, at the end of each day all rows in the sheet get copied to another sheet that is used for metrics. Once all the rows are copied I want to set a column to zero so that it can be changed to a value for the next days work.

I have created an automated workflow to do the copy rows to a metrics sheet but cannot figure out how to set the column values for all rows to zero and still allow the cells to be updated.

I have tried using a column formula however that does not allow you to change the cell value

Here is a view of my main sheet the red arrow is the column I am trying to default to zero

Here is my workflow

appreciate the help

Hi @bday2329

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a possible workaround, you could.

1. Use a 3rd party solution like Zapier
2. Use the Smartsheet API
3. Move the rows to the other sheet instead and then have a default structure in another so-called helper sheet that copies it over to the main sheet to set the values to 0 again.

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
