Has anyone used Smartsheet to track company vehicle miles, gas usage, etc.

  • How do you currently track this information? It may be possible to build a similar solution in Smartsheet if you provided more details about your current process and how you want to improve it.

    This is really easy to do with most of the input being from a Smartsheet Form from each of the drivers/users. They can each have their own version of the form now, since the last update. Why not include a photocopy of the Receipt, Speedo, damage etc.

    One client of ours uses this to send in vehicle defect reports to HQ. Why would you use anything else?

Ok. What if we do this (column formula):<\/p>

=IF(COUNT(ANCESTORS([Task Name]@row))>1, INDEX(ANCESTORS([Task Name]@row), 2))<\/p>


<\/p>

I've never needed the first column reference before, but maybe it is just being picky for some reason.<\/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":108606,"type":"question","name":"How do I calculate the count of project days within a quarter given the project start and end dates?","excerpt":"I have a sheet with all of the current projects, each project is along one row.

You will need a helper column on the source sheet with a formula (checking a box in the below) to show which rows should not be included.<\/p>

=IF(COUNTIFS(Client:Client, @cell = Client@row) = 1, 1)<\/p>


<\/p>

The above should check the box on all rows where there is only a single entry for that client.
