References applicable by workspace
I really appreciate the current cross‑sheet reference functionality in Smartsheet but creating additional references for the same source sheet—especially after one already exists—can feel repetitive.

Both Google sheets and Excel have a shortcut (CTRL+~) that allows you to toggle a view that shows all the formulas in the sheet at once (that is, the cells change from displaying values to displaying the underlying formulas).

Any suggestions for keeping infrequently-visited sheets/reports/formulas updated with current data?
Hi everyone, I have a scenario that worked well for 3 years, but in the past 6 months or so has become unreliable: As part of a templated toolset, I have a couple of 'worksheets' (where users are visiting and making updates), a 'calc sheet' that's pulling information together from these worksheets via index formulas with…

Circular References and Parseable Errors with cells that contain Emojis and Text/Numbers
I'm new to Smartsheets and attempting to transfer tracker data from Google Sheets to build dashboards. I use emojis in trackers and COUNTIF formulas to summarize the data based on emoji categories. The formulas work as long as there is no other data in the cell but I get a "0" if there is any other text in the cell. Please…

Check box for start date and end date that fall within Today's date
Hi Community I have a check box column with a column formula to check if the Start Date and End Date are Todays Date. =IF(AND(ISDATE([Start Date]@row ), ISDATE([End Date]@row ), [Start Date]@row <= TODAY(), [End Date]@row >= TODAY()), 1, 0) This works when there is a date range, ie Start Date is 18/2/26 and End Date is…
