I have a list of project numbers that I need to count, the issue is that the different people may be working on different areas of the same project so duplicates need to be automatically excluded.
Are you trying to count the names or the project numbers?
Hello,
There isn't built in functionality to identify or exclude duplicates. See this community post from January where another Community member has posted a workaround using a formula: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/identifying-duplicates-with…
Check out this article from our Help Center for more information on creating formulas: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476171-create-and-edit-formulas-in-smartsheet

If you can give more details, I may be able to help with a more specific solution to your case.

Have any of you created a Smartsheet that would show the savings for a project by the month? In other words, if I saved $1200 annually and the project ended in say March, then the savings would go $120 per month, Mar 2025-Feb 2026. I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
