Has anyone tried the new automation that can change the value of a cell

Jeffrey Domanski

I tried the example, followed it line for line but for some reason it didn't work in my sheet that I tried it in. I simply wanted to hit DONE and then have the % COMPLETE field change to 100% (since I aggregate these into the total % done for the project as it progresses)

Hi @Jeffrey Domanski

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes, it's fantastic!

Have you tried another column?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

I was just hoping that when I hit the check box in DONE, that the % COMPLETE value would switch to 100%. The example they gave as basically that scenario. I can't get it to work though.

Can you share s screenshot of the Workflow?

Jeffrey Domanski

certainly....

I'm just curious to what I am doing wrong. Seems very intuitive like when setting up conditions. I just can't get it to work.

@Jeffrey Domanski

Do you save after you check the box?

Also, ensure that you've checked the Sheet Change Notification Settings box to Include my changes in sheet notifications in your Personal Settings (circle/profile in the lower right corner).

Did that work/help?

Jeffrey Domanski

Yep, saved and that box is already checked. This is weird that I can't get it to work. Did this not roll out into full production perhaps yet?

Yes, it's strange!

It's released to everyone except maybe those on government accounts.

I'd be happy to take a quick look.
