How do you create a "days remaining until start date" column that will select the start date one eac
Hello! I'm new to Smarsheet and haven't been able to figure this one out. I have a sheet with many tasks that have different start and end dates. I want to create a column that will tell me how many days are left until the start date of each task. This formula works: =[Start Date]23 - TODAY() But I need it to automatically modify itself so that if it is on row 5 it selects Start Date 5, if on 6 it selects Start Date 6, and so on. Eachdays remainingcell on each row should show number of days untilstart dateon their same row. Please help and thank you!
PS it would be even better if it didn't show negative days but just counted down to zero and then remained at zero.

Your formula should work if you copy and paste and should update the [Start Date] row automatically. If you want to add some less than zero logic then you should just add an IF statement in there like this =IF([Start Date]23 - TODAY() < 0, 0, [Start Date]23 - TODAY() < 0) .

In your sheet, create a third section that adds the results of the first two. It would have the same rows, but the formula for each row would add the cells of section 1 + section 2.<\/p>
Add a helper column called ShowInReport as a Check Box and check all the rows in the third section. <\/p>
Create a report and tell it to show you only Section 3 (where the ShowInReport is true.<\/p>
I hope that makes sense.<\/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":108888,"type":"question","name":"Is it possible to URL-Query an embedded form?","excerpt":"I am wondering if it is possible to prefill an embedded form on a dashboard by referencing the form in the dashboard URL?","snippet":"I am wondering if it is possible to prefill an embedded form on a dashboard by referencing the form in the dashboard URL?","categoryID":321,"dateInserted":"2023-08-13T01:16:42+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","insertUserID":161632,"insertUser":{"userID":161632,"name":"SteyJ","title":"Jacob Stey","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/SteyJ","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!5Zjq-V_rc4o!zmkrczO71bo!6kwXWfi9FUH","dateLastActive":"2023-08-13T22:08:19+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":8888,"lastUser":{"userID":8888,"name":"Andrée Starå","title":"Smartsheet Expert Consultant & Partner | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Andr%C3%A9e%20Star%C3%A5","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/0PAU3GBYQLBT\/nXWM7QXGD6464.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-14T06:11:30+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":1,"countViews":33,"score":null,"hot":3383814580,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108888\/is-it-possible-to-url-query-an-embedded-form","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108888\/is-it-possible-to-url-query-an-embedded-form","format":"Rich","tagIDs":[204,254,292,530],"lastPost":{"discussionID":108888,"commentID":390381,"name":"Re: Is it possible to URL-Query an embedded form?","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/390381#Comment_390381","dateInserted":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","insertUserID":8888,"insertUser":{"userID":8888,"name":"Andrée Starå","title":"Smartsheet Expert Consultant & Partner | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Andr%C3%A9e%20Star%C3%A5","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/0PAU3GBYQLBT\/nXWM7QXGD6464.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-14T06:11:30+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-08-13T15:45:48+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":390381,"body":"
