Hello!
I am trying to make a symbol formula that will become "1" (red flag) IF the Start date is in the past, AND if a dropdown list DONT show "Done".
Anyone that has this formula or knows how to write one?
Kind Regards//

I would need a formula that makes a flag turn red IF two other symbol columns is "1"
Hi Hugo,
Try this.
=IF(AND([Symbol1]@row = 1; [Symbol2]@row = 1); 1)
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Try this for the first question.
=IF(AND(NOT(Status@row = "Done"); Date@row < TODAY()); 1; 0)
Did it work?

Hi!
Thank you!
That formula works!
But I just noticed that I need it to work based on 5 symbols!
I cant get that to work with the same structure. Do I need more "AND" ?
This is exactly the structure that I am looking for!
My status column is a dropdown list with several choices.
Is it possible for the formula to also become "0" (not red) if 3 other statuses is in the status column?
Then I have the formula that would make my sheet sooo much better!
Happy to help!
No, you don't need more AND.
=IF(AND([Symbol1]@row = 1; [Symbol2]@row = 1; [Symbol3]@row = 1; [Symbol4]@row = 1; [Symbol5]@row = 1); 1)
Probably, can you describe what you need in more detail?
Ok!
So each row would need a flag that becomes red IF the start date is in the past AND status is not "done" OR "waiting for x", "Waiting for y" and "waiting for z"
Is this possible?
Try something like this.
=IF(AND(AND(Status@row <> "Done"; Status@row <> "Waiting for x"; Status@row <> "Waiting for y"; Status@row <> "Waiting for z"); TODAY() > [Start Date]@row); 1; 0)
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(AND(AND(Status@row <> "Done", Status@row <> "Waiting for x", Status@row <> "Waiting for y", Status@row <> "Waiting for z"), TODAY() > [Start Date]@row), 1, 0)
How do I see who submitted a form for a specific sheet?
Hi, I have a Gantt covering 500+ rows of events past and planned. I use it to predict and track values around these events. 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…
