Hi,
I am trying to put a formula into a cell to say that if a check box is checked, put in the date that box was checked. I was able to do this before but it is no longer working. Is there still a way to do this?
Thanks.
You can have a formula that adds today's date, but the problem is that the TODAY function will update to the current date always so it will not store the date. You'd either have to add it manually, use a third-party solution like Zapier, the Smartsheet API, or create a workaround like locking the row and similar.
Would any of those methods work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Can you explain the work around more with locking the row?
Sure!
If we use the automation and lock the row after the box gets checked, the Modified Date column would then fix on the date/time from that event but this only works, if there aren't any more changes, are needed for the row.
Make sense?
One other method, but it's more advanced, would be to use the third-party service, Zapier, to add the date to another column for when the box gets checked. Is that an option?

I have a picture below for an example of this. I want to create a formula to get counts of items in "Column2", but if "Column4" states "change" I want the "Column2" count to not work and instead count what is it "Column3" in that given row. Column4 can also have several different things in it besides "good" that I want it…
I've done this a million times - create a report, separated by campus with a total $$. Then add it to a dashboard and make a graph. NOTHING is working right now when I try to do this. I get an error that the data cannot be charted. What the what? Help anyone? Is this a issue since they apparently changed something in the…
