I have a dashboard that provides counts of certain data. One of the counts needs to be date-driven in the respect that it needs to show the count for the current year. How do I build that into the widget?
You'll need to start by creating that metric somewhere. In a new sheet you can use a cross-sheet formula to count all of the projects that are in your project sheet. I imagine you can do that by looking at the due-date.
The IFerror will count cells without dates or that are blank as 0.
The final formula should look something like this...
=COUNTIFS({Name of Cross Sheet refrerence}, IFERROR(YEAR(@cell), 0) = 2019)
Then in your metric widget. You will point to the sheet that you just created and include that metric. I like to use one cross sheet reference for most of my dashboard calculations. But occasionally, I have to use more than one if we are performing metrics on multiple sheets.
I have an end date column and want to add 30 days to that for a new column that shows due date. How do I add 30 days to a date automatically?

However, when I open the dashboard, nothing is displayed, and I am unable to enter Edit Mode or access the widgets/data sources. I have already confirmed the following: I am the owner of the dashboard and have…
Why is it so convoluted now! I eventually figured out the changes and ended up with a sheet that Smartsheet completely reorganised the rows and the sheet is now useless to me as it is not in a logical order for me to easily restore to its original layout. This is not an "improvement"! It was far easier to upload data…
