@maineL<\/a>,<\/p>I haven't seen this possible without the use of a 3rd party integration. I don't believe it is supported natively in Smartsheet. The question comes up all the time though. <\/p>

Hi Julie,<\/p>
If your primary column is always going to have the text \"#...\" at the end of the field for the first parent row in each group, you should be able to use the \"#\" as a starting point to reference in a RIGHT function. In this case, the below formula should work as a column formula in the Project_Number column. You will just need to substitute your column name \"Project\\Epic\\Feature\\Sprint Objectives\\Task\" wherever it says Primary Column.<\/p>
=IF(COUNT(ANCESTORS([Primary Column]@row)) = 0, RIGHT([Primary Column]@row, LEN([Primary Column]@row) - FIND(\"#\", [Primary Column]@row)), PARENT([Project_Number]@row))<\/p>
Using the LEN - FIND functions should keep the formula working correctly as you get into multiple-digit project numbers. Keep in mind that this formula will need to be updated if the text \"#...\" is ever omitted\/changed in the primary column or if it is not the rightmost text in the field.<\/p>
Hope this works for you! 😊<\/span><\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","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":[{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"Formulas","name":"Formulas"}]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&categoryID=322&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":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
