Sheet content, shifting rows
Oh boy I have a good one today. Please Help! On Friday I was working on my data base sheet, linking cells in a couple different columns to another sheet. (I hid the columns in between, to make it easier). Today, I noticed that the columns in between have shifted down a few and the further I get down them worst it gets…

Filter not Working: Is not in the last (days)
Hello, I'm drawing a blank on why this filter is not working correctly. I process the archive of the data in this log and will archive every week the items that are 21 days or older. This is how I have my archive set up and it always returns items that were submitted today (which most certainly does not meet my filter…

How to auto-populate/insert 10-15 task rows as child items under new project row?
What is the best way to automatically insert a set of (about 10) rows as child tasks under each project row? I am designing a smartsheet based on the Project Sheet template, but in my case we manage a large number (about 150) of projects.

Approval: two users/same level
Hello, Is there a way I can send an approval form to two managers who both need to sign off on each staff member's annual leave? I can do it if I send to Manager A first and then Manager B once the first step has been completed, but wondered if there's a way to do them both at the same time that I'm not seeing...?

Blank Rows in Gantt - Automatically get populated by start date
In Gantt format - I leave some rows blank to separate workstreams or buckets of work. But for whatever reason - Smartsheet goes and fills just the start date automatically in these row.

Dependent tasks should not be forced to follow
Hi all, When 2 tasks are created and task2 is made dependent on task1, task2 is automatically moved so it follows directly the end date of task1, and there is no way I found so as to create a time gap between the 2 tasks.

Formula results varying between today and yesterday
I have a formula pulling info from another sheet. This then feeds into a dashboard metric. The formula is a COUNTIF for anything with today's date. What is happening (and this sounds crazy....I had to get a couple of people to observe it to confirm it wasn't just me) is that at some moments in time the figure on the…

Help with Google Forms sync
Hi All, I am trying to create a procurement Smartsheet for my company, using Google Forms as a method of collecting data for procurement requests. The reason I am using Google Forms is that it has form logic, which is something the people at Smartsheets have not implemented yet, but are working on from what I am being…

Making bulk changes to a Sheet in multiple Workspaces
As an Admin for a Project Management firm I deploy a new Workspace as new Projects come online. Within the Workspace, Sheets feed Reports which feed the Dashboard. Each Project is a self contained Workspace. Occasionally, a formula error is picked up in one of the sheets by our users. This typically means that the same…
