For example, Bugs Bunny may have 12 hours assigned in Sheet 1, 4 hours in Sheet 3, and 24 in Sheet 5 for a grand total of 40. I want to be able to summarize total Effort for each…

Sumifs That Excludes Parents
Hello, I am working on an ever expanding project timeline that has 100's of parent tasks that flow into potentially up to 10+ levels of parent tasks, with children tasks at every level. Given the granularity of the task management and the timeline being outwardly facing, "=sum(children())" is used on every parent task to…

Flexible Date Formatting
I have discovered 27 distinct methods for formatting dates, not including variations in separators. Unfortunately, Smartsheet only offers 10 date format choices. In the IT field, aligning data with its intended use is crucial, and proper date formatting plays a significant role in multi-factor authentication. If a user…

Allow editing of column type when conditional formatting is disabled
Currently, 'Column Type' can only be edited if it is not being used in a conditional formatting item. I understand there are probably computational limitations with the sheet trying to re-apply a format to an item type that no longer exists under a column that still exists (would probably crash/freeze), but the only…
