Auto-fill based on Column value

I have a drop down box containing staff member names, when selected I want it displayed automatically in the "Assigned to" column our company name. I have searched help but so far no luck, can someone assist? cheers.

Hi Jason,

I'm not sure what you want to accomplish. Can you explain a little more in detail what you want to do?

Hi Andree,

We (>8 users) use Smartsheet to track construction jobs Australia wide using multiple crews however we also have 8 members of our own. What I’m looking for would be a VLOOKUP?. If I select one of our members in a drop down column I’ve created I want in another column, in our case “Crew Allocated” our business name to automatically fill.

The idea behind this is that in a new sheet (yet to be created) I will have only these jobs displayed for another manager, I’m a new user with limited experience.

Hi, again Jason,

Assigned = Your team

Joe

Moe

Jen

Niki

Crew Allocated = Internal or external crews (Dropdown list)

Company Name

Crew 1 (External)

Crew 2 (External)

Crew 3 (External)

Crew 4 (External)

Formula in Crew Allocated

=IF(Assigned1 = "Joe"; "Company Name"; IF(Assigned1 = "Moe"; "Company Name"; IF(Assigned1 = "Jen"; "Company Name"; "Crew 1 (External)")))

Would this work for you?

I hope this helps you!

More granular time options for needed for Workflow triggering
Currently Triggering recurring workflows are only supported at the top of each hour. For instance 10:00, or 11:00, etc. Would like the ability to set 10:30 or 10:45. Perhaps the inteface can stay hourly so it doesnt get huge, but have the ability to manually edit the time directly to any custom time.
