I'm new to Smartsheets and I'm trying to figure out how to do an IF([Response]3="Yes", VLookup formula linked to a reference data sheet. I've tried various ways to input and always get Unparseable. Any help is appreciated!
You have to create that reference in the little drop-down data that appears while typing in your formula. Then you will select your range and finish the formula.

Those might give you some clues as to how you should set it up.

I have a status column with a dropdown menu with the options “Not started,” “In process,” and “Completed.” I want to have a formula that auto-populates the parent task with the status based on the children tasks. Here is the logic that I want the formula to use: If…
I have a parent row that I'm using to sum all child row values where Children = 0 and Status = "Not Started". This is my formula. =IF(OR(ISBLANK(Status@row ), Hierarchy@row = 0), "", IF(Hierarchy@row = 1, SUM(CHILDREN()), IF(AND(Children@row = 0, Status@row = "Not Started"), 1, 0))) However, if any of my task rows are…
Hi, I am trying to get a column that provides the Date (easy with Record a Date) but I need the TIME as well. Most of my tables I just use the right function on the Modified Date because the only thing updating those tables are automations or data imports. But a few tables have automations, data imports, and manual inputs.…
