Hi,

I need to delink the Duration column from the Finish date in a schedule.

I'm creating a master / roll up schedule that is linking from multiple sheets, however I can't link the finish date as it's greyed out. It's dependent on the duration.

Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?

You would use the below for Jan 2023 and adjust the month and year numbers accordingly for each of the other months.<\/p>

=IF(AND(MONTH([Start Date]@row)<= 1, YEAR([Start Date]@row)<= 2023, MONTH([End Date]@row)>= 1, YEAR([End Date]@row)>= 2023), [$ per month]@row)<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","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":108239,"type":"question","name":"Is an automated export of a Smartsheet to an Excel file possible?","excerpt":"Hi all, I have been having the most frustrating conversation with Smartsheet support on this topic and not getting answers to the question that I asked.

Hi Candace,<\/p>

The answer is YES. You can use \"Send as Attachment\" feature in the File menu of your sheet to setup the schedule for your need. You should be a licensed user to use this feature as well (I remembered that). <\/p>

Hope this works for you.<\/p>

This cannot be set up through an Approval Automation. At his point you have a few options (each of which has its pros and cons).<\/p>


<\/p>

You can just include a blurb that says that they are acknowledging by submitting within the Approval automation.<\/p>


<\/p>

You can set up an update request automation as a reminder that they need to enter their initials if they submit but didn't the first time.<\/p>


<\/p>

The last option I can think of that would truly make it required is a bit complex but possible. The first step is to create an \"approval sheet\". This sheet will have the same fields in it that you need to send in the approval request and a form created to match.<\/p>


<\/p>

You would then take the base form URL and drop it into a formula on the original sheet that allows you to basically generate a custom form on each row that will have the row data prefilled when someone clicks on the URL in that row. Since you can make form fields required, this will give you the ability to require their acknowledgement prior to them submitting their approval.<\/p>


<\/p>

Send this custom form URL through an alert and instruct the users to click the link to open the approval form.<\/p>


<\/p>

The form entry would populate the \"approval sheet\", but you can use formulas with cross sheet references to pull the appropriate data back over to your original sheet.<\/p>


<\/p>

If that last option sounds like something you would be interested in, fell free to let me know, and I will try to pull together a few links to help you get started building the formula.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","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":510,"urlcode":"email-notifications","name":"Email Notifications"}]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=321&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":4891,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Smartsheet Basics","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">

  • How can I make an approver's view on the message notification field mandatory?

    Making it mandatory will not allow approver to approve or decline without acknowledgement. Example creating a column that would say: "You acknowledged that accounting details have been reviewed?" Then enters initials. This has to be done prior to clicking approved or decline.
