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'm receiving this message every time I try to open my sheets. I'm the only admin user. I have already performed proper troubleshooting, such as clearing the cache, logging in incognito, and logging out and back in, but the issue remains unresolved. It's been a few days, and I'm unable to track our projects and this…
I’ve created an automation that generates a document and forwards it to the individual specified in a cell. The line item also has several additional attachments associated with it. Is there a way to include those attachments with the generated document?
I have an automation set up that copies a row to another sheet each day. The automation itself works correctly, but the problem is that it copies the formulas rather than the values, which causes the formulas to break and return errors. How can I configure it to copy only the values instead of the formulas?
