Hi there,
I am trying to link to a master schedule but adding some additional days to define my drop dates.
Please help.
Thanks.
Hi,
Are you using cross-sheet formulas or cell-links?
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.
Have a fantastic week!
Best,

Hi Andree,
I am using cell links. I have one sheet which I want to link to another sheet but want to add some additional days to my sheet while maintaining the Link to the other sheet.
I tried this formula in my sheet:
=({mastersheetlink} + [15days])
But it doesn't work.
I just tried this formula and it work within the same sheet. I am trying to link my date to another sheet is my whole point. So that if the other person on the other sheet changes her date, mine automatically calculates my new date and updates it.
=[Source Data Cell] + [Desired Number of Calendar Days]
Let me know how I can change the source data cell to link to another sheet?
Thank you,
Ridix
Happy to help!
When cell-linking, you can't do anything with that value in the same cell so the solution would be to add a column for the cell-linked value and then do the calculation as needed in the main column.
Another way to structure it would be to use a cross-sheet formula instead and then it would work in the same cell.
Which method would you prefer?

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…
