I have a start time and end time in my smartsheet but need to calculate hours worked. Has anyone used a formula before to do this? if so can you pass along?
so I figured out the issue, I was missing a bracket. I have also condensed the formula down since I do not need start and end dates.
No I need to figure out how to set that formula to be used in every cell for that column by default. I tried using a Managed Workflow.
But when it is added, I get this result:
Notice the punctuation mark at the beginning, this gets added by the system so the text is not treated as a formula.
Hi @MSGFreebird
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, you can't use the change cell value action to add formulas.

I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

I was able to get the formula to work but it doesn't seem to be calculating correct. Can you please review and let me know what i'm doing wrong. After looking at numbers all day i'm sure i'm overlooking something simple.
I need the formula to get the text from the next row in a specified column. I am creating the formula in row 2 in a column named 'Next' and want it to bring back the data from column 'Test' in row 3. This is what I have tried so far but getting #unparseable error. =INDEX(Test:Test, row() , +1) =INDEX([Test]:[Test], row() ,…
I have a formula that is currently working (see below); I need to add a condition, from a specific Column (Study Status)-that if it equals a particular choice ("Study Ongoing - Follow up"), that it doesn't even bother looking at this formula and automatically turns the FLAG off. Furthermore, I'll need to have several…

Wanting to do this in the sheet summary, but open to other solutions that I can display in the project's dashboard.
