I have a drop down box containing staff member names, when selected I want it displayed automatically in the "Assigned to" column our company name. I have searched help but so far no luck, can someone assist? cheers.
Hi Jason,
I'm not sure what you want to accomplish. Can you explain a little more in detail what you want to do?
Best,

Hi Andree,
We (>8 users) use Smartsheet to track construction jobs Australia wide using multiple crews however we also have 8 members of our own. What I’m looking for would be a VLOOKUP?. If I select one of our members in a drop down column I’ve created I want in another column, in our case “Crew Allocated” our business name to automatically fill.
The idea behind this is that in a new sheet (yet to be created) I will have only these jobs displayed for another manager, I’m a new user with limited experience.
Hi, again Jason,
Assigned = Your teamJoeMoeJenNiki
Crew Allocated = Internal or external crews (Dropdown list)Company NameCrew 1 (External)Crew 2 (External)Crew 3 (External)Crew 4 (External)
Formula in Crew Allocated=IF(Assigned1 = "Joe"; "Company Name"; IF(Assigned1 = "Moe"; "Company Name"; IF(Assigned1 = "Jen"; "Company Name"; "Crew 1 (External)")))
Would this work for you?
I hope this helps you!
Thanks Andree, have not had a chance to try but by the look of it, it's what I'm looking for. Will let you know. Hope I can call on you again.
Regards
Jason.
Happy to help!
Let me know how it works for you?
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
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.
