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!

From my research, I understand there isn't a way to keep formulas when exporting from Smartsheet into an Excel document. I have a total of 50 columns with formulas and would think there was a quicker way to grab the formulas. So far, I've appended a "!" which turns the formula into text which does export. However, I'm not…
