Updates to a sheet via form

I've seen several posts about updates to a sheet via a form or request an update via trigger.

Here is my task... Create a sheet to track mileage for a list of team member for reimbursement. Information on the sheet needs to stay confidential. I need to update three different cells on a team members record on the sheet. I've tried to send out a "Request to Update" but I can't seem to hide just the information I want to display to the requesting party per row. The email receives show to much data. I need this information on a monthly basis and I'd really like to automate it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Instead of the CONTAINS function, try making it equal to the number:<\/p>

=IF([Task level]@row = 0<\/strong>, [Task name]@row, ....................<\/p>


<\/p>

You can also save yourself some keystrokes by using the nested IF to generate just the dashes and then add the task name to the end of the nested IF.<\/p>

=IF(.....IF(.....IF(.....))) + [Task Name]@row <\/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":[]},{"discussionID":110856,"type":"question","name":"I am attempting to create a true\/false formula.

Hi @LGraf<\/a> <\/p>

Have an auto number column with the number only, then have your Vendor ID # combine it with the Vendor Type:<\/p>

=[Vendor Type]@row +\"-\"+ [Autonumber column]@row <\/p>

Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to have a dynamic prefix in the auto number column itself.<\/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":[]}],"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":[]}">
