Hello - This is a bit confounding, I have the links set up correctly and it returns a blank cell. I double check the source cell, and there is the correct information. Can anyone help?

Thanks

    Hi@Jef Forward

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Is it a busy sheet with many cross-sheet formulas, rows, or similar?

    What happens if you log out/in and if you try in another browser?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    Hi Andre, Yes, It is a busy sheet. It is our main datasheet. I have logged in and out several times, and the same result between browser. At my wits end with this. Thanks, Jef

  • I am running into the same problem, was a solution found for this issue?

    @Jef Forwardand@Emily QuickI was having this same issue today and found a way to resolve it on my own. When I linked, the cell turned up blank even though the source cell had data.

    What worked for me was saving the sheet(with the blank link), then Removing the link from the cell, saving again and refreshing, then magically the number appeared however the link was gone so I re-added the link and it now reflects the number so SAVE. A bit of a hassle but hopefully it works for you.

Hi @Carol-Anne Cerbone<\/a>,<\/p>

If you're just wanting the month to compare to last (e.g. July today vs. June last), then this will do what you're after:<\/p>

=IF(AND(YEAR(Created@row) = YEAR(TODAY()), MONTH(Created@row) = (MONTH(TODAY())) - 1), 1)<\/p>

Hope this helps! 😊<\/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"}]},{"discussionID":107325,"type":"question","name":"Incorrect Argument Set","excerpt":"Hi All, I have a formula that worked in one row, but then when I make it a column formula, it shows \"incorrect argument set\" in all the other rows but the 1st one.
