How to enter the word "T METAL" in a different column automatically

How to enter the word "T METAL" in a different column automatically when another column has an entry on the same line.

If someone enters a random number in a row on a column named "GA", I would like "T METAL" to automatically populate another column named "GP Macro" on the same row. Can this be done?

Thanks!!

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

I'm not sure what you are using for the formula in the \"ALL\" column, but if it's the same as the first section of your posted formula, I would think you are getting the wrong results as it would count every year up to the year in question (as opposed to only the year in question).<\/p>

Either way, try this for the USA column.<\/p>

=COUNTIFS({Projects In by Date}, <=DATE([Primary Column]@row, 12, 31), {Projects In by Date}, >=DATE([Primary Column]@row, 1, 1), {State}, <>\"CAN-Canada\", {State}, <>\"OC-Outside North America\")<\/p>

The formula I have posted ensures only 1 year is looked at - use the first portion if it does turn out your other formula is incorrect.<\/p>

Hope this helps,<\/p>

Hi @Jim Potter,<\/p>

You can use this in the GP Macro column.<\/p>

=IF(ISNUMBER(GA@row), \"T METAL\")<\/p>
