Hello All,
I am using this formula =TODAY() - [Date Field Checked]3 but I need to stop this count when the item is complete.
Could someone please help out?
How does the user signify complete? Check box, status text, or % Complete.
By stop the count, do you want it to return blank when complete or keep the last value?
Smartsheet does not do the second one -- I use Zapier for that if I have to. Or the API.
If just blank then
Assuming you have a checkbox in a column name Done
=IF(Done@row,"",TODAY() - [Date Field Checked]@row)
I hope this helps.
Craig

Thank you. I would like it to just store the value. They check "Partial- holding for rework" or "complete". As soon as complete is checked I just want it to hold.
Smartsheet won't do that.
It needs a toggle function or a set-reset function, which is does not have.
If this is a single sheet or a small fixed set of sheets, I would use Zapier.
What you are looking for an accumulator, not a counter. Now that I think about it, the API might be easier to implement such a thing.
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?

The requirement is simple: a sub-action's due date must be earlier than or equal to its parent action's due date. For example, if the parent action is due on June 30, 2027, users should not be able…
