Moving rows and losing formulae links.

Hi there,

I use smartsheet a lot to manage and track report issuing between multiple users. I regulary have problems when moving rows to enable organisation by priority and the cell links within the row change. I have to reapply the formulaes in certain cells which can be time consuming.

has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution? can the formulae linking be displayed or highlighted if differs from surrounding cells?

    Formulas will automatically update if you move rows around, so they they are always referencing the correct cell. For example, if you had this formula:

    =Date2 + 5

    and added a row at the top of your sheet, the formula would automatically update to:

    =Date3 + 5

    If you move the row containing the formula around, it will stay up to date to continue to reference the same cell it was referencing before you moved the row.

    Are you seeing different behavior?

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

Try this!<\/p>

=IF(RIGHT([xfmr#]@row, 1) = \"X\", \"277\/480\", IF(RIGHT([xfmr#]@row, 1) = \"E\", \"120\/208\", \"120\/240\"))<\/p>

Hope that helps!<\/p>
