Hi!
I am looking for a way to make my report of action items look better. I want to add a column that automatically can make my report look like the screenshot (attached). Does anyone know a formula that could help me?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Caitlin,
You can use the symbols column for this.

Would that work?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

Unfortunately, that doesn't work to sort it like the screenshot above.
Yes, now I get it!It's possible with a thorough structure of the sheets. Do you have something created already?
I have pulled a report and used conditional formating to show the different time periods like "past due, today, tomorrow, next week" but it still looks cramped and hard to read. See the screenshot below.
Can you maybe share the sheet(s) or some more screenshots of the sheet(s)? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Glad we got it working!

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…
