Hi,
I need help with finding a way to automate the RYG balls so that if no dates are input, it's white. If the first date is input, it's red. If the second date is input, its yellow. And if the final date is input, it's green.
Thank you !
Try something like this.
=IF(AND(ISBLANK([Welcome Email]@row); ISBLANK(Signed@row); ISBLANK(Cosigned@row)); ""; IF(ISDATE(Cosigned@row); "Green"; IF(ISDATE(Signed@row); "Yellow"; IF(ISDATE([Welcome Email]@row); "Red"))))
The same version but with the below changes for your and others convenience.
=IF(AND(ISBLANK([Welcome Email]@row), ISBLANK(Signed@row), ISBLANK(Cosigned@row)), "", IF(ISDATE(Cosigned@row), "Green", IF(ISDATE(Signed@row), "Yellow", IF(ISDATE([Welcome Email]@row), "Red"))))
Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.
Did it work?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

Wow! It works perfectly!
Many thanks
Excellent!
Happy to help!
I'm sorry to have another question, perhaps you can advise me why when I changed the order and updated the form's names, the ball doesn't change to green when the welcome email date is present?
You can see in the photo, the blank, gray and yellow work, but not green.
=IF(AND(ISBLANK([Welcome Email]@row), ISBLANK([TPSA Signed]@row), ISBLANK([Counter Signed]@row)), "", IF(ISDATE([Counter Signed]@row), "Yellow", IF(ISDATE([TPSA Signed]@row), "Gray", IF(ISDATE([Welcome Email]@row), "Green"))))
I changed it to RGYG
Thank you
It is the order in which you have your conditions. Once it comes across it's first true value, it stops evaluating. So if yellow and green are both true, but yellow comes first, it will trigger a yellow response, but if green comes first in your formula, it will trigger a green response. Try working your formula in order of priority...
=IF(ISDATE([Welcome Email]@row), "Green", IF(ISDATE([Counter Signed]@row), "Yellow", IF(ISDATE([TPSA Signed]@row), "Gray", "")))
I saw that Paul answered already!
Let me know if I can help with anything else!

Hello, smarter friends: I'm trying to learn how to utilize automations to move certain rows to new sheets in order to explore if my larger/longer ranging goal is possible. Where I'm Currently Stuck: I can't even figure out how to create functional auto to send a row to a basic sheet. That is my immediate need. But if…
I'm having issues accessing Smartsheet in both the desktop app and web browser and continually get the below error message…I need to refresh multiple times to get it to work. And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt:
This just started today… For some reason, I can no longer edit fields in my Smartsheet. One I'm the owner of. I do see an icon in the upper right that says "Comment Only", but can't figure out how to change it. Here a screenshot of what I am seeing:
