Is there are way to track the amount of time each stage of development takes?
What formula would I use and then, what chart?
Hi Michelle,
Yes, there is. It depends on how your solution is setup. Can you share the solution or upload some screenshots?
I hope this helps you!

Keep in mind... Tracking time in Smartsheet only works for days. Smartsheet cannot handle actual times (hours/minutes) without rather convoluted workarounds.
@Paul Newcome Is this still the case and l need a convoluted workaround to get how much time a generator was running?
Trying to calculate how many hours a generator run for, and for the cell to show as empty when there's no data in the cells. After reading a lot of posts came up with a formula but l can't figure out how to remove the "#INVALID VALUE" error, tried wrapping the formula in a "IF ERROR" but did not work.
This is my current formula, but there has to be something simpler and that allows for a cell to show as blank if both feeding cells are blank:
=VALUE(LEFT([Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Started]@row) - 1))) - VALUE(LEFT([Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row) - 1))) + (VALUE(RIGHT([Generator #2 Time Started]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row) - 1))) - VALUE(RIGHT([Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row) - 1))) / 60)

Thanks!
@Silvia Rangel That is correct. Smartsheet does not yet have built in time calculations. I will include a link at the bottom of this post to a thread that has numerous time based solutions in it.
As for the IFERROR, it should wrap around the entire formula like so...
=IFERROR(VALUE(LEFT([Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Started]@row) - 1))) - VALUE(LEFT([Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row) - 1))) + (VALUE(RIGHT([Generator #2 Time Started]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row) - 1))) - VALUE(RIGHT([Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row, (FIND(":", [Generator #2 Time Stopped]@row) - 1))) / 60), "")
@Paul Newcome Thanks! So, l realized l had a space between the end of the formula and the coma ( 60) , "") and this was giving me the error... Also, l tried the formulas in your ime based solutions post but none worked for what l am looking to do, at least for this sheet, as they worked for others! ☺

@Silvia Rangel Glad you got that figured out. Are you still needing an overall formula? I would imagine a negative result for run time is not exactly accurate.
I need to edit a large sheet that has a lot of predecessors. I need to delete one row and move another. when I make the changes the predecessors for proceeding lines are not correctly displaying the dates correctly. Need help.
Hi all, I'm having some issues with an index-collect formula. I have (3) existing sheets that list a unique project name (text field), as well as a producer assigned to work that project. The producer column in all (3) sheets is set as a contact field. In a separate sheet, I'm trying to auto-populate the producer…
I am currently in business trial version, but i was told it is supposed to allow for full functionality, however when I click Ctr+F my search menu is only a search bar that allows me to only find the string, and it doesn't allow for replacing. Is it me or the F&R functionality rather limited?
