Hello. I have many sheets with automation and i have one that is giving me an issue. I am getting the above email notice from smartsheets for this one automation on one sheet. I have double checked that the restrictions are set to "Unrestricted". See attachments.

Thank you!

Any ideas what is happening or how to fix it?

Hi @Ben B.<\/a> <\/p>

Technically no, you can't add diagonal lines. You could add an image of a diagonal line but it would take up the same space as a square and leave excess blank space. You could submit a feature request though. I'd upvote that.<\/p>

Have a great day.<\/p>

I would suggest a helper column that uses a nested IF to output which alert should be sent (or blank if no alert is to be sent). Then you can set your automation up to run weekly and use a condition of this helper column being in that particular range.<\/p>

=IF([Expiration Date]<= TODAY(30), \"30 Days\", IF([Expiration Date]@row<= TODAY(60), \"60 Days\", IF([Expiration Date]@row<= TODAY(90), \"90 Days\", IF([Expiration Date]@row<= TODAY(180), \"180 Days\"))))<\/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":[]},{"discussionID":110893,"type":"question","name":"Need to determine the stage of a house by the dates submitted","excerpt":"Our builders submit dates at each critical stage.
