Hi, I am having a problem with one formula that is not automatically copying to a new row (there are others that are being copied). The formula is:
=JOIN(CHILDREN([Column Name]1, ", ")
Why every other formula is being copied but not this?
Thanks.
Hi,
Strange!
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)
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I shared with you.
Thanks!
I'll take a look and get back to you!
Happy to help!
If I understand what you want to do you must use and add an Absolute Reference ($).
=JOIN(CHILDREN($[Ações (O quê?)]$5), ", ")

Did it work?

Hi, Andrée!
No, it is not the case of Absolute Reference.
If you do a simple test you will see what I mean:
Enter something below the yellow cell and press Enter: the formula at the column "Riscos Impactados" is copied.
Do it again below the "something" and press Enter: the formula is NOT copied.
I hope it is clear now. Thanks!
Ok.
I tested and I see what you mean now. Strange!
If you haven’t already, I would recommend that you reach out to the Smartsheet Support Team. Smartsheet Support Team
But, it worked after I saved the sheet so it's working.
It works for little time. If you include rows and new hierarchy it stops working! I have 20 sheets with this same problem!
I'd recommend checking with Smartsheet Support.
Let me know how it goes!
The dashboard previously contained 16 widgets, and I have confirmed that the widgets still exist in the backend. However, when I open the dashboard, nothing is displayed, and I am unable to enter Edit Mode or access the widgets/data sources. I have already confirmed the following: I am the owner of the dashboard and have…
I have an end date column and want to add 30 days to that for a new column that shows due date. How do I add 30 days to a date automatically?
Why is it so convoluted now! I eventually figured out the changes and ended up with a sheet that Smartsheet completely reorganised the rows and the sheet is now useless to me as it is not in a logical order for me to easily restore to its original layout. This is not an "improvement"! It was far easier to upload data…
