How to Use Certain Contact Cells in a Column and Combine into One Cell

MichelleA

Hello,

I have a project timeline/schedule where I want to take each 'different contact', in a column and combine them into a single cell so I can create a notification to the project team based on different tasks that change to 100% complete. My team uses a template for the timelines and I would like to set it up so we don't have to change the automation every time we start a new project. The contacts are used multiple times in the column so I would only want to grab the name once. The share to the entire sheet won't work because there are too many people shared and it would be a lot of junk mail.

I'd love any help.

Hi @MichelleA

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to combine multiple contacts in a cell with a formula, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Andrée Starå,

Do you know if Smartsheets has an implementation for this yet?

Thanks
