Looking for a way to write a formula to lock rows if a cell has a specific value in it, or hide the rows.
Any ideas?
Hi,
You can set this with the help of "Alerts & Actions" and the "Lock a Row" feature.
There is no way to hide the row, but you could change the color with conditional formatting and otherwise, filters and reports are the best bet.
I hope this helps you!

Ok, thanks, I did not think it was possible, but wanted to ask.
What about adding a .png to a cell based on a formula?
Happy to help!
As far as I know, it isn't possible to add images based on formulas.
Ok, bummer, thank you!
Can you take a look at this and tell me where I am wrong?
=IF(Answers22 = "", "", TODAY()),OR(IF(Answers22 = "No", "", TODAY()))
What are you trying to do? Can you share the sheet or some screenshots?
=IF(Answers22 = "", "", TODAY()) <-this is a complete function
The system doesn't know what to do with anything after that because it's complete already.
At a glance, it looks like you need a nested IF statement. What inputs do you want to return with which values?
So for the Nested is it:
=IF(OR(Answers22 ="",Answers22="No",TODAY()) ?
Here you go
If it is NULL return NULL, if it is No return NULL else date()
=IF(OR(Answers22 = "", Answers22 = "No"), "", TODAY())
Your OR function belongs in the logical statement of your IF function.
The only issue with this for you would be that TODAY() will automatically update to the current date every time you open the sheet. Smartsheet does not currently provide time stamp capabilities.
I'm using salesforce connector to pull my team's hours information in real-time. The Salesforce connector sheet contains sheet summaries that I'd like to use a cell reference for a different sheet. I can't seem to find the best way or formula to do this. I don't want to use a dashboard with report widgets because I prefer…
I have two formulas which work well independently, but when I combine them they don't. formula 1: =IF(YEAR([Joined date]@row ) = 2025, JOIN(COLLECT({Membership Survey 2025 - Experience}, {Membership Prioritisation Survey 2025 - Org}, [Organisation name]@row ))) formula 2: =IF(YEAR([Joined date]@row ) < 2025,…
