We have Smartsheet integrated with another system and pulling data across into Smartsheet. Currently the date format that is coming across is (YYYY-MM-DD) and I want to translate that into my local profile date format of (MM/DD/YY). Is there a function or formula that allows me to do this? I have been unsuccessful in my searches for figuring this out.
Hi Mark,
There isn't a specific function to translate the date format, but it can be set up with the help of some helper columns.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic week & Happy Holidays!
Best,

Hi again Mark,
I solved it with the help of some helper columns, but I'm looking at making it less complicated. I'll get back to you.
Try this.
Place the formula below in the column where you want the converted date format to be. OrgDate is the date that you want to convert.
=IF(LEN(MONTH(OrgDate@row)) = 1; "0" + MONTH(OrgDate@row); MONTH(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + IF(LEN(DAY(OrgDate@row)) = 1; "0" + DAY(OrgDate@row); DAY(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + RIGHT(YEAR(OrgDate@row); 2 + IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 10; "00"; IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 100; "0")))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(LEN(MONTH(OrgDate@row)) = 1, "0" + MONTH(OrgDate@row), MONTH(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + IF(LEN(DAY(OrgDate@row)) = 1, "0" + DAY(OrgDate@row), DAY(OrgDate@row)) + "/" + RIGHT(YEAR(OrgDate@row), 2 + IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 10, "00", IF(YEARDAY(OrgDate@row) < 100, "0")))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.

I am building out my sheet summary from a schedule. I have a Parent Row column and all of my parent rows have a checkbox. I want a formula that looks at the first checkbox and looks at the status. If status is Complete, that summary field would then indicate that the Project is in Definition. If the status is In Progress…
I'm trying to create a formula that requires the account# to be 10 digits. I've tried the formulas that I've generated, and they all return an error. This information is tied to a form that requires the account. Help please.
Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on the best way to architect a cross-team project tracking system. My current setup: I have multiple teams, each maintaining their own individual project sheet. Each sheet contains a list of projects specific to that team. The Goal: Cross-team Dependencies: I want to add a dropdown…
