I have an existing sheet which contains a schedule of annually recurring tasks. I saved a copy to create the new year's sheet and now need to update the dates. Is there an automated way to do this?
Hi Cindy,

This won't keep the days of the week as accurately as Andree's solution and it might update your days set to 18 to 19, but it would be a fast workaround if your timings are not ultra time sensitive.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted.

Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all.

When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
