Setting up Days Outstanding
Hi all!
I need to fix a column in Smartsheet. The column that says "# of days outstanding" does not always automatically fill for us. How do I fix this, do I have to put a formula in each cell?
Also, smartsheet newbie here, I've been working in it for about a week, so I might need extra help.
Thanks in advance!
Laura

Andrée Starå ✭✭✭✭✭✭Hi Laura,
It depends on your specific set up but try to add at least two rows with the formatting and formulas that you want and then add a third above or below those and that should work.

I hope this helps you!
