Date Formula - Text Number Column

Ileana Navarro

Hi, I'm trying to create an automation when a date is reached, but I have had to change my date columns for the formula to work.

=Date@row + 5 of days, when this date is reached I want a workflow to start, but the automation doesn't identify it as a date field.

Is there a way to overcome this?

Hi @Ileana Navarro

I hope you're well and safe!

What do you mean by that you've changed the Column for the formula to work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thanks for getting back to me.

For the formula to work I need to change to a text/Number column. So when I try to run an Automation form, it doesn't identify the column as a date.

Thanks

Happy to help!

Not sure I follow!

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)
