Pre-chosen date based upon name chosen

Andrew Watts

Hey all.

Is it possible to set template date(s) in a group of cells when another cell drop down is selected?

For instance, If I choose from a drop down "June 2024" the dates cells next to this would snap to certain dates (milestones) automatically. Trying to have x4 milestone dates snap when a "Month Year" is selected.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi @Andrew Watts

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Unfortunately, no, but it's still an excellent idea!

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Depending on how many variations, you could maybe use a form and the form logic feature or add multiple so-called helper columns and use formulas and conditional formatting to guide which to use for the different variations.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
