Smartsheet Formula Invalid Data Type

m.martinez

Hi I am trying to have the Today's date auto populate when a symbol turns green.

I am using the following formula but get an invalid data type error.... I am new to Smartsheet so any help is appreciated.

Hi @m.martinez

I hope you're well and safe!

Try something like this.

=IF(iOS@row = "Green", TODAY())

Did that work/help?

Note: This will update the date to today's date for each day. If you'd like to store the date, it changed to Green. It would be best if you used a Workflow combined with the Record a date Action instead.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Thanks Andree, yes it works however, I would like to store the date, when changed to green. How would the workflow be setup to record date?
