Is it possible to change the value of a certain cell using code in another cell.
I would imagine it looking similar to this format..
IF(column@row=X, different_cell=XX, different_cell=XXX)
Hi Logan,
Yes, it's possible! How would you like to use it?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

In the end I would like to have a function that tests "if" [column1]@row=1 then [columnX]@row=[columnX]@row-1
Testing if a condition is true, if it is then assigning the value of a cell to be the value of the cell directly above it.
BUT because of how I am gathering the data in forms, this formula cannot be put in the cell that is getting changed, it needs to be in a different cell or if there is some kind of script function I could run..
Ok.
You would need to add at least one so-called helper column, and if I understand your need correct, you won't need to script anything to make it work.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
i have a spin off of the same question.
column 1=date , column 2=mods number, 3=helper.
Helper= =IF(mods522 = "", "mods empty", IF(date522 <> "", "date empty T", TODAY())).
then i was trying to today's date in Date column from this cell.
i tryied workflow to do this but they did not like it because you had to save and refresh (sometimes twice).
is this possiable?

But I am trying to have it calculate net hours worked after taking away any unpaid break. Breaks will be 30 mins or 60 mins. I've seen other posts from people asking about it but haven't seen…
I have an automated workflow set up to run weekly and request an update when the project is in certain statuses. The automation only ran once and now it's not working even though I have it set up to run weekly. I need help troubleshooting why this isn't working.
