I typically try to lock these sorts of parent rows to prevent people from editing them. That way I can chase down any admins that may have inadvertently broken my sheet.
Yes, Shaine, I am.
The use case where I ran into it was JOIN(COLLECT()), which quickly clutters up the Sheet with useless cells. At least for COUNT or SUM, each level has meaning and usefulness.
Does anyone know how to revert a sheet to a prior version after a column formula resulted in replacing all of the values with #circular reference? Would all entries have to be manually re-entered?
I know you can use a formula like this: =[Projected Payment Milestones (+)]@row to copy the "value" from one cell to another (because that cell is a formula); however, I need just the "value" formatted as a number ($) to be copied; because in my REPORT I am not able to edit the data as it is recognized as a FORMULA (fx) Is…
