I have a parent row that is indicating duration of its child rows as 78,324 days when in fact it's actually 53 days--February 1 - April 29. (I made sure the dates were all in 2016). I had one row that was showing several thousand days when it was actually 21 days. I fixed that and saved the sheet but the parent row is not updating. Any thoughts?
Update to this - I started to take out the start and end dates to re-enter them. I got down to the fourth child row and the duration of the parent row recalculated. I have no clue what was wrong initially but would welcome input because this is happening in other areas as well.
I had a problem recently, which I did not have time to investigate and can not reproduce at 11pm on Sunday night, where I would enter dates and they would be wrong. Like years wrong or the month and years being swapped.
Or something like that. Definitely wrong.
如果它发生,试一试this in a Text/Number column:
=YEAR([Date Column]23) where Date Column is the name of your start or end dates that are causing problems and row 23. Copy that to rest of the column.
You might want to columns (one for start, one for end)

ps: while trying this, I found a short-cut I did not know existed;
Type a "4", enter in a Date column -- and it will show your current month and year as defaults (so today is 04/04/16).
Ok, I found it. Classic case of submit something for help, then find the answer. I think what may have happened previously, is that I turned on all the filters, but since there isn't one for a Deleted Row, maybe the Deleted Row was hidden. When I came back, I didn't click anything on the filters for the Activity Log and when scrolling through looking for the 'magic' delete word, I found the record I was looking for.<\/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":[{"tagID":447,"urlcode":"activity-log","name":"Activity Log"}]},{"discussionID":108819,"type":"question","name":"Fill in a cell based on another cell's value?","excerpt":"Hello, I'm tracking participation of a program on my sheet as a \"participation %\" column.
