LATE
I'm trying to get a formula to read when something is late.
I have the following columns,
ETA field that has a date.
# Received
so I want to say if # received is blank and eta is <= to today() then say "Late".
I've tried multiple versions of if, if and, blank...etc and can't get it to work. I am not working with dependancies.
Any help is appreciated.

You need an Automation: https://help.smartsheet.com/learning-track/level-2-intermediate-users/automation! You could set up an automated workflow with the following options:
- Trigger: When a date is reached using the date field for the ETA date column
- Condition: Where [# Received] [is blank]
- Select an action: Change cell value. Select the Status row and then enter "Late."
I've included some example screenshots below. This wouldn't capture items that are already late, but it would work going forward.
