I am pretty new to smartsheet, but have a question about parent rows
I am using Data Uploader to upload a csv master file into smartsheet. I am trying to see if there is a way that I can dynamically designate a column or combination of columns to be a parent row in either the upload or in the sheet itself. The data in gray is what the input file would look like and the orange section is what I would like to see on the sheet.
Is this possible?

I have the same question. This would be a very useful functionality if it does not already exist.

I think this will work. The first part of the formula handles if a payment was received but was past the due date, and the second part handles if TODAY() is past the due date but no payment shows as received. It should return blank if neither requirements are met, so it inherently solves the third example.<\/p>
