join(collect) e-mail addresses with multiple e-mail addresses is not recognized as e-mail address.

Please see attachment for explanation of the problem. I hope somebody can help me with this. i have tried several way's, but unable to get it to work.

The purpose is controlling access to a dynamic sheet, where based on an account the user can only see his account data and not other accounts. Because the employees switch/leafe/join the company i use a reference sheet where i manage the user per account and then based on the join(collect) define which account your working for and determing if you get access.

    Unfortunately Smartsheet is not currently capable of outputting multiple contacts in a single cell via formula.

    Hi Paul, Thanks for your answer, not a satisfying off course, ;-) Do you have a suggestion how to restrict the view for users on an account. let's say account A has 3 employees, account B has 5 employees, i don't want Account A to see data from Account B. The only way to do that is by e-mail address. If I can not have multiple e-mail addresses in a cell, what is the alternative, that is easy to manage?

    You can have multiple email addresses in a cell. You just cannot populate them via formula. If you have a column that denotes Team A vs Team B, you can use a change cell automation/assign someone automation.


    Another option would be to manually list them in the same cell in your reference sheet and then use an INDEX/MATCH to bring them over so that you are only bringing over a single cell as opposed to joining multiple cells.
