Is it possible to change the value of a certain cell using code in another cell.
I would imagine it looking similar to this format..
IF(column@row=X, different_cell=XX, different_cell=XXX)
Hi Logan,
Yes, it's possible! How would you like to use it?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

In the end I would like to have a function that tests "if" [column1]@row=1 then [columnX]@row=[columnX]@row-1
Testing if a condition is true, if it is then assigning the value of a cell to be the value of the cell directly above it.
BUT because of how I am gathering the data in forms, this formula cannot be put in the cell that is getting changed, it needs to be in a different cell or if there is some kind of script function I could run..
Ok.
You would need to add at least one so-called helper column, and if I understand your need correct, you won't need to script anything to make it work.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
i have a spin off of the same question.
column 1=date , column 2=mods number, 3=helper.
Helper= =IF(mods522 = "", "mods empty", IF(date522 <> "", "date empty T", TODAY())).
then i was trying to today's date in Date column from this cell.
i tryied workflow to do this but they did not like it because you had to save and refresh (sometimes twice).
is this possiable?

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…
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…
