Hi All,
I wonder if there is a way to make the Day initals (i.e. Sat, Sun, Mon...etc) show up next to the date in smartsheets?

Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to get in the same cell, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
As a workaround, you could add a column and have it show there.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic day!

It also depends on how the dates are entered. If manually, Andree's suggestion will work. If you are using a formula, you could add to it, but it would then render the date useless for future calculations.
I just realized that you could change the format of the date and at least include the name of the month or day.
Duh! The new date formats. There is one that works exactly as the poster describes... Ugh.
Exactly, Duh is the word!
Column you want the Initials =IF(WD1 = 1, "Sun", IF(WD1 = 2, "Mon", IF(WD1 = 3, "Tues", IF(WD1 = 4, "Wedy", IF(WD1 = 5, "Thu", IF(WD1 = 6, "Fri", IF(WD1 = 7, "Saturday", "")))))))
Helper Column WD =WEEKDAY([Date]1)
DATE Column

You could also combine your two columns into 1 to save a little space if needed...
=IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 1, "Sun", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 2, "Mon", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 3, "Tues", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 4, "Wedy", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 5, "Thu", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 6, "Fri", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 7, "Saturday", "")))))))
Just use the WEEKDAY function directly in your nested IF's.
Wow, awesome Paul! Thanks!
Hi all. Hoping this is pretty basic here. I had to do a find and replace on a few numbers in a Smartsheet grid which changed them to a different "format" (not sure if thats the right word) from the others. I've since ran a Vlookup on the column, and the converted numbers come up as no match. I believe this is the same…
Hi All, I am having some challenges which I was hoping someone might be able to help me with… There is an existing Smartsheet that a project team uses to display new product introductions. As this sheet is updated in real time and I am not in that team, I can't add fields that I want to track into that sheet; however, some…
Is there a way to make a 4 button by 4 button panel to collect data for tallying? Basically, I have an operator performing 1 of 16 different tasks, and I simply want them to tap the button for the specific task completed. I would want something like this opposed to a pull-down menu and submit button.
