Meet Paul Newcome, our August Member Spotlight! 🎉

Alison Clancy

Give it up, Community, for @Paul Newcome, our August Member Spotlight! Paul is a force in the Smartsheet Community and we are luckier for it.

Based in West Virginia, Paul has been using Smartsheet for 5 years - though it wasn't love at first sight. However, he soon discovered how much it could do at his job in management consulting and in his personal life including, "...tracking water level for kayaking trips, mileage and maintenance of my personal vehicle, and quite a few things for my tree service." Check out his family's library tracker:

When he's not helping others and building solutions, Paul enjoys the outdoors and listening to his favorite band, Pink Floyd (he suggests listening with high quality headphones or speakers).

"I definitely enjoy a good challenge," he says. "I am one of those crazy ones that has fun building out the crazy formulas and solutions, so feel free to reach out! Happy to help. 👍️"

Paul has helped me numerous times. I haven't asked many questions here, because if possible I always look for a previously answered question. And usually Paul has already provided an awesome solution :)

@L_123 🤘

@Erica Cole Still don't hesitate to ask away if you can't find something though. Even if I can't figure it out or if I don't see your question, there are a lot of other people here in the Community that can provide a ton of knowledge.

See several of your posts @Paul Newcome ! Absolutely great stuff and I really appreciate all the provided help. I'm getting ready to tackle trying to capture and track times in a sheet, so may reach out for some help. Don't be surprised, hehe 😂

Stacey Carrasco

yay @Paul Newcome well deserved!!! 👏🌟

You're always my go to person when I'm stumped on how to solve an issue.

Thanks so much!

Paul Newcome

@TomG If you haven't found it already, there is a thread that has a collection of most of my time based solutions. When I have some time (haha) I plan to go through them and see about updating for more efficiencies with some of the different functions/features now available that weren't back when some of them were built not to mention a few little tricks I have learned since as well.

@Paul Newcome Thanks for sharing it again so others can easily get to it as well. I did run across this from you and am presently working through some things and using that info a lot. Really appreciate you sharing that wisdom with all of us and saving us the strife you went through to figure it out.

Congratulations @Paul Newcome ! 💫 Well deserved!

You have helped me with some difficult stuff, thanks for always looking for a way to solve an issue and help!

EmilyH

Congratulations @Paul Newcome!

When asked to create some very complex formulas, you were always there to help! When I think there is no way this will work, you never say never and provide solutions!

Thank you, I have learned so much from you!

There's so much love in this comment thread, all because of @Paul Newcome 👏🏻

Paul Newcome

Yes. Thanks for all of the support @EVERYONE_ON_HERE. It definitely feels good to know that others are able to benefit from my content.

I also have to say that I would not be as proficient as I am and therefore less able to help if it weren't for the Community to begin with. Not only was I able to get help and guidance from other users when I was still new to Smartsheet, but I still do to this day. It has been one of my biggest learning tools.

So to everyone that has found my content useful... Happy to help. 👍️

P.S.

I will be at ENGAGE this year and would definitely be thrilled to meet everyone in person!!!!!!
