Hi All,
I wonder if there is a way to make the Day initals (i.e. Sat, Sun, Mon...etc) show up next to the date in smartsheets?

Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to get in the same cell, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
As a workaround, you could add a column and have it show there.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic day!
Best,

It also depends on how the dates are entered. If manually, Andree's suggestion will work. If you are using a formula, you could add to it, but it would then render the date useless for future calculations.
I just realized that you could change the format of the date and at least include the name of the month or day.
Duh! The new date formats. There is one that works exactly as the poster describes... Ugh.
Exactly, Duh is the word!
Column you want the Initials =IF(WD1 = 1, "Sun", IF(WD1 = 2, "Mon", IF(WD1 = 3, "Tues", IF(WD1 = 4, "Wedy", IF(WD1 = 5, "Thu", IF(WD1 = 6, "Fri", IF(WD1 = 7, "Saturday", "")))))))
Helper Column WD =WEEKDAY([Date]1)
DATE Column

You could also combine your two columns into 1 to save a little space if needed...
=IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 1, "Sun", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 2, "Mon", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 3, "Tues", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 4, "Wedy", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 5, "Thu", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 6, "Fri", IF(WEEKDAY([Date]@row) = 7, "Saturday", "")))))))
Just use the WEEKDAY function directly in your nested IF's.
Wow, awesome Paul! Thanks!
Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
