I need to keep accurate documentation of how long my deliveries take (down to the minute) I normally do this in spreadsheets by having the column formatted as a time. I cannot see that option in the formatting list. Am I blind or is it not there?
Hi Tash,
Unfortunately, Smartsheet doesn't have a Time specific column just yet, but it's coming.
A workaround could be to use a dropdown list, and it's also possible to set up a solution where you can select the start time and end time to calculate the total time.
Another option could be a time measuring add-ons/plugin that you can use together with Google Chrome.
Can you describe your process in more detail so that I can maybe give you a better recommendation?
Have a fantastic weekend!

Is this still not an option?
Hi @ErinMay
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not released yet, but hopefully, it will be released soon.
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

I had to add a lot of helper columns to make a workaround. My first column is the start timestamp. My next 3 helper columns break down the hour and minutes then convert them to decimal. I do the same thing with my end timestamp. Then I do the calculation. I also have to reconvert it to minutes for another project. Seems like a lot of work, but once it's done, it's done. It's definitely ugly, but it does the trick until SmartSheet can figure out how to make it a standard function. Hope it helps.

Hi everyone, I'm building a dashboard in Smartsheet and using a Report/Table Widget to display data (see screenshot below). Is there any way to increase the font size of the column headers (e.g., Metric, 2025, 2026, Variance, Variance %) independently of the row text? I've been able to adjust other formatting, but the…
Hello, I have created a dashboard and added some Metric Widgets to my dashboard that is pulling text from the profile data sheet that I created. However, on the screen shot below, where it is pulling information into, I want to change the formatting (no bold, smaller font). But when building the dashboard, it doesn't let…
When using automation to copy checked rows from source sheet, no destination sheets populate for me to choose from even though I am Admin on both sheets. Has anyone experienced this? Any trouble shoots or resolutions? Thanks.
