Hello,
I am trying to use this formula:
=IF([Column2]5="","",(IF((VLOOKUP([Column4]5,'Combined Timesheets'!A:[Column2],2,FALSE))=[Column2]5,"Yes","")))
It wont work and I keep getting the #UNPARSEABLE error. Can anyone help me fix my formula?
It looks like you may have an excel tab reference 'Combined Timesheets'! in the formula. Can you write out in words what you want the formula to do?
If Column2 Row5 equals a comma, Then (value if true) (value if false)
If you have more conditions to evaluate just indent as needed. I think this will lead to a better structured formula in the end (using index/match, OR, @row). Looking forward to your response.
=IF( [Column2]5="","", (IF ((VLOOKUP([Column4]5,'Combined Timesheets'!A: [Column2],2,FALSE))=[Column2]5,"Yes","" )) )
There are several potential issues I see with this formula... which makes the final one not-needed. Also there is what looks to be an excel or Google sheet reference to an alternative
First there is an extra open parenthesis before the 2nd IF statement
=IF([Column2]5="","",----> (<-----IF((VLOOKUP([Column4]5,'Combined Timesheets'!A:[Column2],2,FALSE))=[Column2]5,"Yes",""))---->)<-----
Second, it looks like there is a reference to a separate google sheet that might have come when you ported this over from Exel or Google. This could also e causing the problem.
=IF([Column2]5="","",IF((VLOOKUP([Column4]5,----->'Combined Timesheets'!A:<------[Column2],2,FALSE))=[Column2]5,"Yes",""))
Thanks for your reply,
I imported several tabs from an excel workbook and many of them contain referencing formulas. I imported the formulas as well but its not working in smartsheet.
Referencing another sheet in Smartsheet is VERY different than referencing another sheet in Excel.
Here is an article from Smartsheet on how to reference other sheets...

I have a parent row that I'm using to sum all child row values where Children = 0 and Status = "Not Started". This is my formula. =IF(OR(ISBLANK(Status@row ), Hierarchy@row = 0), "", IF(Hierarchy@row = 1, SUM(CHILDREN()), IF(AND(Children@row = 0, Status@row = "Not Started"), 1, 0))) However, if any of my task rows are…
Hi, I am trying to get a column that provides the Date (easy with Record a Date) but I need the TIME as well. Most of my tables I just use the right function on the Modified Date because the only thing updating those tables are automations or data imports. But a few tables have automations, data imports, and manual inputs.…
I’m hoping to get a second set of eyes from the community in case I’m missing something obvious or there’s a cleaner pattern I should be using. I’ve used ChatGPT to try and help me group/organize my situation coherently…. Because at this point I feel crazy… I’ve literally worked on this for hours. Environment •Smartsheet…
