Help with Vlookup + date

edited 12/09/19 in Formulas and Functions

I explain, I need to create an expiration date from a drop-down menu where the different types of payments of my clients are informed. Example, if a customer's account is "up to date" it means that the due date will be the issue date + 0. Also if another customer has a "credit" deferred payment type, the due date must be made up of the date Issue + 30 days.

For this I thought it was viable to use Vlookup by referencing a sheet with the types of payments available in our accounts.

I hope you can help me. Thank you.

    You need to add to the date.  Try the following formula in the 'Expiration Date' column.

    =[Invoice Date]@row + Vlookup([Payment Types]@row,{Payment type days},2)

    Hi Connor, 

    I tried to do it as you suggest, but it doesn't work. (thank you anyway)

    It looks like the reference you showed in the first post had {Payment types days}.  I put {Payment type days} in my formula.

    Try to add the 's' on there and see if it fixes the reference.

  • Sorry, but it doesn't work even if I changed as suggested.

    I was reading similar posts and LOOKING (I am not 100% sure) Smartsheet would not have the option to reference conditional drop-down lists from another sheet.

    Yes it can be referenced by associating "filters" from another sheet, but not from the drop-down menu.

    thanks for your help. (image of what was done)
