    Microsoft references a connector via Logic, Power Apps, And Power Automate:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/smartsheet/

    I'm sure those Microsoft Tools have DevOps methods as well...

    @Yoav Simple

    Sync it! ... Just Kidding.

    What data?

  • @JeremiahHorstickI'm on it haha

    The goal is to have high level tasks in Smartsheet, and low level dev tasks in Azure Devops.

    Tasks from Azure can be nested to Smartsheet under existing rows with all associated data (e.g. status), and/or aggregated by specific data (e.g. working hours) to display as summary KPI in a Smartsheet sheet.

    我不是t sure about the full specs, but at this stage I mainly want to understand if and how is that even possible- via a native Smartsheet integration? or perhaps a 3rd party app (e.g. Zapier)?

  • Try theSkiviaapp. It can sync Azure DevOps and Smartsheet Data without coding in both directions. Read more here.

Perfect.

Hi @Sachiko Kagami<\/a>,<\/p>

The WORKDAY function is what you're after here.<\/p>

\n \n https:\/\/help.smartsheet.com\/function\/workday\n <\/a>\n<\/div>

In your case, I think the following should work:<\/p>

=COUNTIFS({Customer Escalation Region}, $Region@row, {Customer Escalation Request Reason}, \"Close Gap\", {Customer Escalation Request Date}, WORKDAY(TODAY(),-1)<\/p>

This will do the check for yesterday, skipping weekends. Public holidays aren't automatically in there, but you can add these as per the link.<\/p>

Hope this helps - if there are any issues then just post! 😊<\/span><\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"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":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=341&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":5416,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Using Smartsheet","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
