Hello,
I have been trying to find a work around for an issue I am having on sheet we use. We are currently using a sheet for employees to submit when they check out and check in equipment via a form. We were using the auto created date column to run reports on what equipment were checked out vs. available. We discovered that all submissions after 5pm are not registered because they are treated like the are submitted for the next day. Our account administrator is reluctant to change the working hours to be more than 8 hours due to impact on over sheets. Is there a way to use a formula to date/count when new rows are inserted correctly. see the photo for more details.
This has been discussed in several different threads.

Using helper columns to identify the current week, I get an email report on a Monday that tells me the upcoming events in the current week (7 days) and their values. Currently if an event spans…
Hi Smartsheet Community, I'm working on an action management system where users create sub-actions through a Smartsheet Form. 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…
Hi, I want to divide a total by different rows with different weights. I've accomplished this somewhat with the formula below. However, I need each row to total the top number for "WEEK 1 REG". Project 3 should return a zero since the box for that week is unchecked, so I want the 120 split by the other two rows. My weights…
