Smartsheet integration with Google Calendar

whatafaff · 01/18/24

Hello,

I was relieved to see that SS has a native integration with Google Calendar, but I'm struggling to get the calendar to display events for a specific time period rather, than just an event on a day.

I think this is mainly due to the fact that the date columns in SS can't handle Date/time, unlike most other spreadsheet systems.

Is there a workaround for this or is it back to GSheets for me?

Hi @whatafaff

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible to show it between the hours now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

You can have a formula that shows the time in the title.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hey @Andrée Starå,

Thanks for your suggestion. Can you help as to what the suggested formula might look like for this?

@whatafaff

Happy to help!

Try something like this.

=StartDate@row + " - " + Time@row

Would show similar to this: 18/01/24 - 04:30 PM - 05:30 PM

Make sense?

Would that work?

Hey @Andrée Starå,

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this doesn't work as Smartsheet doesn't let you export to GCal unless it's formatted as a date column. Adding this formula makes it a standard text/number column so it doesn't work.

Gcal can accept dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm format so it's a pity that Smartsheet can't export in the same format.

Cheers
