Smartsheet Wrong Date Show Using System Created Time Date in a Calculation
You may find when performing date calculations in Smartsheet on Smartsheet System generated columns such as Created (Date) and Modified (Date) that the result is not what you expect. This is due to Smartsheet storing system generated columns as server time (UTC or GMT timezone) but displaying it as your local timezone within your Smartsheet view.
In my video is a nice little workaround. I like to call these sorts of workarounds "Smartsheet Gymnastics"
This video shows how to Parse selections in a Smartsheet Multi-Select Dropdown Column into Individual cells within a Smartsheet
Below are the Formulas I used for this sheet by Column:
Quantity Fruits Selected:
=COUNTM([Fruit Multi Select]@row)
Fruit 1:
=IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row > 3, "More than 3 Selected", IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row = 1, [Fruit Multi Select]@row, IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row > 1, LEFT([Fruit Multi Select]@row, FIND(CHAR(10), [Fruit Multi Select]@row)), "none selected")))
Fruit 2:
=IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row > 3, "More than 3 Selected", IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row = 2, SUBSTITUTE([Fruit Multi Select]@row, [Fruit 1]@row + CHAR(10), ""), IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row > 1, LEFT(SUBSTITUTE([Fruit Multi Select]@row, [Fruit 1]@row + CHAR(10), ""), FIND(CHAR(10), SUBSTITUTE([Fruit Multi Select]@row, [Fruit 1]@row + CHAR(10), ""))), "none selected")))
Fruit 3:
=IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row > 3, "More than 3 Selected", IF([Quantity Fruits Selected]@row = 3, SUBSTITUTE([Fruit Multi Select]@row, [Fruit 1]@row + CHAR(10) + [Fruit 2]@row + CHAR(10), ""), "none selected"))
In Smartsheet you can have a parent checkbox cell change value based on Children or Descendant Cells.
Formula using Descendants Function:
=IF(COUNTIF(DESCENDANTS(), 1) = COUNT(DESCENDANTS()), 1, 0)
Formula using Children Function:
=IF(COUNTIF(CHILDREN(), 1) = COUNT(CHILDREN()), 1, 0)
Project Status Column Formula:
=IF([Task Complete]@row = 1, "Completed", "In Progress")
Hi! I wanted to showcase an example of what is possible to do in Smartsheet utilizing a customized intake form with conditional logic, generating metrics with summary reports and a metric sheet, then showing the metrics on a Smartsheet dashboard.

Learn how to take a Smartsheet column containing a name and another column containing an email and then combine these 2 columns into a Smartsheet Contact List Column Type
Below if the formula used in this video.
=Name@row + " <" + Email@row + ">"
