Hi Khushboo,

See Shaine's response on this post: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/exporting-contact-emails-sheet-excel

I hope that helps!

@khush_hello

Hi Alejandra,

Thanks for your response. But I believe I found a solution too!

This might not be the only solution but it works.

Step 1a: Create a save as copy of existing sheet that you wish to download

or

Step 1b: Convert the sheet contact list column to a text/numeric column; bingo!

(Note: Don't forget to convert it back to Contact List type]

Step 2: If Step 1a is followed then convert the "Contact List" column to a text/numeric column; bingo!

Step 3a: If Step 1a is followed then download the Smartsheet file and use excel based formulae to extract email address, within [abc <abc@abcxyzefg.com>]

Formulae: [=MID(A1, FIND("<", A1) + 1, FIND(">", A1) - FIND("<", A1) - 1) ]

or

Step 3b: If Step 1b is followed then use below Smartsheet formulae to extract email address on Smartsheet another column (type text/numeric):

[=MID(ContactList@row, FIND("<", ContactList@row) + 1, FIND(">", ContactList@row) - FIND("<", ContactList@row) - 1) ]

Step 4: Job done!

Please let me know how it goes.

Cheers!

I'd like to accomplish this with a formula

I appreciate Khushboo's solution here, but I really think this should be a formula.

How to restrict sub-action due dates in a Smartsheet Form?
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…
