I am trying to write a formula that would enter a text based on the text in another column with both columns being a dropdown.

For example if in column D the text is Pass I would like the formula to choose Complete in column A, if in column D the text is Under Review column A should state In Progress.

    Hi@swightman


    You will be adding the formula in Column A and it would be something like this. =IF([Column D]@row="Pass", "Complete", IF([Column D]@row="Under Review", "In Progress"))

    Thanks,

    Aravind

Hi @JacksonElla<\/a>,<\/p>

If \"Yesterday\" and \"Today\" are the only text values you end up with, then this formula would do what you're after:<\/p>

=IF([Last Updated]@row = \"Yesterday\", TODAY(-1), IF([Last Updated]@row = \"Today\", TODAY(), [Last Updated]@row))<\/p>

Ironically, typing Yesterday\/Today directly into a date column in Smartsheet will give the relevant date (as will last\/previous\/next <insert day>) but I don't know if the Jira integration would support that or you'd need to use a helper column with the formula as above.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]},{"discussionID":108819,"type":"question","name":"Fill in a cell based on another cell's value?","excerpt":"Hello, I'm tracking participation of a program on my sheet as a \"participation %\" column.

The formula below will get what you need. With Smartsheet, you have to convert % to decimal values in formulas. <\/p>

=IF([Participation %]@row = 0, \"Not Participating\", IF([Participation %]@row > 0.8, \"On Track\", IF(AND([Participation %]@row < 0.81, [Participation %]@row > 0), \"Needs Improvement\", \"Blank\")))<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"Formulas","name":"Formulas"}]},{"discussionID":108817,"type":"question","name":"Hi, I am trying to do a SUMIFS, and I keep getting incorrect argument set","excerpt":"I have a column called Actual Charges I want to sum if the column SOW Reference has \"IPO PMO\" in it.

I assume you have a header or something similar in row 1, and that is why you are starting in row 2? If you designate rows, you must use it on the range to sum as well as the ranges to evaluate.<\/p>

=SUMIFS([Actual Charges]2:[Actual Charges]60, [SOW Reference]2:[SOW Reference]60, \"IPO PMO\")<\/p>

If you specify rows, those rows must also exist. If you want to evaluate all rows except for row 1, so specify [Actual Charges]2:[Actual Charges]2000, you will get an error if there are not 2000 rows in the sheet.<\/p>

You should also be able to add additional conditions\/rows to evaluate as well.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=322&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">

  • Convert the text "yesterday" to a date format.

    I downloaded some issues from Jira and I have a column from there titled "Last Updated". In that column it has the regular date format but also text that reads "Yesterday" or "Today". I figured I could use the TODAY() formula to convert the today dates, but how do I configure that to convert to yesterday? Is it TODAY(-1)?…
