Any Potential for Linking Reports to Sheets?

Hello,

I wish there was a way to link a report to a sheet - does anyone know how to do this, or is it possible? I am hitting my link capacities for our production reporting, but what I really wish I could do is to sum a qty in a report and then graph it on a dashboard.

Is there anything in the works at Smartsheets Headquarters for this?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi @Elayne Smith<\/a>,<\/p>

The formula for this would be:<\/p>

=SUMIF(Project:Project, \"A\", [Grand Total]:[Grand Total])<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"image.png\"<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hope this helps - any issues etc. then just post! 😊<\/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":[]},{"discussionID":106990,"type":"question","name":"JOIN COLLECT for Checkboxes","excerpt":"Hello All, Is there a way to collect information using a JOIN COLLECT formula?

Hi @hello1030<\/a> <\/p>

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

Try something like this. (I've guessed what your formula would look like, but you'd have to update the column names to match yours)<\/p>

=JOIN(COLLECT([COLUMN2]:[COLUMN2], [COLUMN2]:[COLUMN2], 1, [COLUMN3]:[COLUMN3], \"Support\"), CHAR(10))<\/p>

Did that work\/help? <\/p>

There were a lot of errors in the formula, but it was mainly the brackets { is used for cross-sheet formulas, and you have to close the [ ] square brackets around a column name that doesn't only have one piece of text, and then the structure wasn't correct.<\/em><\/p>

I hope that helps!<\/p>

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!<\/p>

Best,<\/p>
