How to track time in status?

jtfox76

I have a status column used for the tasks on projects. I'd like to track how long a task (row) stays in a particular status (e.g. in progress). I'm not quite sure how I would get this data.

Hi @jtfox76

I hope you're well and safe!

You'd add multiple so-called helper columns so you can register the date when it changes. You'd use the Record a Date Action combined with the Workflows.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Helper columns seem helpful. My only concern is they can quickly increase your cell count in your sheet. I'll explore helper columns and see what comes out of it. Thanks for the guidance.
