We use Smartsheets for construction projects. We maintain a bid list of all projects bidding and ones that have bid during…

The behavior of Duration, Start Date, and End Date fields when dependencies are enabled
Thought sharing what I learned about editing these fields in a sheet vs a report could be helpful to others. Please note that this only applies when dependencies are enabled on the project settings. On the sheet when they are all blank, indicate any 2 and Smartsheet calculates the third After there's already data on these…

Formula to add "No" to a blank cell, but leave value if not blank
On a Smartsheet project intake form, I have several Yes or No dropdown selections. If Yes, the user must answer additional questions. If No, they do not and those cells are left blank. Auditors do not like Blank cells, so I'm looking for a formula to replace those blank cells with "Does Not Apply" but leave a value there…

Week Ending Date on Dashboard - Automatic Update

How to Archive a Workspace
I have several workspaces for closed or past projects that I would like to archive. We do NOT have Control Center. I act as more of an admin (and I'm also a Smartsheet Admin) for the owners of the project. I would want them to continue to be able to access their old data, should they need to. Is there a way to do this…

What is wrong with my automated colour column formula?
I am looking to automate the colour “status” for my rows based on the health of the action - a calculation based on the ‘% Complete’ and the ‘Due Date’. The goal is to demonstrate a contextual health status. For example, even if an action is only 10%, if the due date is still 6+ months away, the action is still Green due…

For example, if the planned start date is 10/29/21 and the planned end date is 11/05/21, then the…

Time Tracking - Hours and Minutes
I was working on a way to track some task hours and minutes... came up with this: One of the problems I ran into is that if you put "00" (double-ought) or any minute with a preceding zero, it would error. You can see the work-around I made, not the most elegant, I admit.. If Smartsheet could ignore preceding zeros, it…
