Is Dynamic View faster than a regular sheet

Brian Campbell
Brian Campbell ✭✭✭✭✭

Hello,

I have run into the issue with a Smartsheet being slow due to the complexity of formulas I have created. I was wondering if anyone knew if using Dynamic view results in less lag than just filling in the sheets. Just wanted to double check before I spend the time building it in case it has no effect.


Thank you

Michael

@StaggsJordan<\/a> I don't know your full setup, but put one of these ' in front of 7.10 like '7.10. That will identify the \"number\" as a string and keep the trailing 0.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":["discussion","question"]},"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":112467,"type":"question","name":"Is it possible to change a cell in a date column using a work flow?","excerpt":"Im also wondering if i can change a dropdown with symbols using a work flow?","snippet":"Im also wondering if i can change a dropdown with symbols using a work flow?","categoryID":343,"dateInserted":"2023-11-01T19:48:38+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-11-02T10:47:28+00:00","insertUserID":165973,"insertUser":{"userID":165973,"name":"Brandon Morales","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Brandon%20Morales","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-11-02T10:46:07+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":165973,"lastUser":{"userID":165973,"name":"Brandon Morales","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Brandon%20Morales","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-11-02T10:46:07+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":4,"countViews":31,"score":null,"hot":3397792566,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/112467\/is-it-possible-to-change-a-cell-in-a-date-column-using-a-work-flow","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/112467\/is-it-possible-to-change-a-cell-in-a-date-column-using-a-work-flow","format":"Rich","lastPost":{"discussionID":112467,"commentID":402713,"name":"Re: Is it possible to change a cell in a date column using a work flow?","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/402713#Comment_402713","dateInserted":"2023-11-02T10:47:28+00:00","insertUserID":165973,"insertUser":{"userID":165973,"name":"Brandon Morales","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Brandon%20Morales","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/defaultavatar\/nWRMFRX6I99I6.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-11-02T10:46:07+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-11-02T11:57:40+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-11-02T02:47:09+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":402706,"body":"

You would need a helper column to change to current date then in the cell you want the actual date to be you would need to use the formula of =[helper column date]@row+7<\/p>

For the symbol you would need to do something similar as symbol automation is not currently an option that I am aware of but you can have a helper column change to specific criteria and then set up a formula in your symbol column to reference that cell with an if formula to get the symbol you would like to appear when the cell is changed to the specified criteria<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":["discussion","question"]},"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":88567,"type":"question","name":"WorkApps custom filters and export to MS Excel","excerpt":"Is there a way to allow users who have edit rights to a page in WorkApps to create custom filters and export the sheet to MS Excel?
