One of my ongoing goals is to complete my PMP. I've been having a hard time finding time to lock in and study.
Re: Queries about new payment methods
@Naeem Ejaz we wouldn't be able to do it with our AD integration. I was just asking the general question and to point out yet another "flaw" to the USM.
Re: Looking to summarize data from multiple rows to multiple columns so I can generate a document.
How about something like this:
Step 1
Use a JOIN function to get all of the data you need per infraction into one cell, something like:
=JOIN(Date@row:[6 Month drop off date]@row, " | ")
This can be one hidden column in your existing sheet.
Step 2
Transpose each row into a column.
Use an INDEX function to return the value from the new column from row 1 in column 1, row 2 in column 2, row 3 in column 3….
=INDEX(Combo:Combo, 1)
=INDEX(Combo:Combo, 2)
=INDEX(Combo:Combo, 3)
You would do this in your new summary sheet and replace the column name with a cross sheet reference, so the formula would look more like this (depending on the name you use for your cross sheet reference).
=INDEX({Combo}, 1)
=INDEX({Combo}, 2)
=INDEX({Combo}, 3)
The summary sheet would look like this:
Would that do the trick? Or do we also need to look at the employee name?
If so, you can add the name to the first list:
And to the second summary. Then include a COLLECT function in the INDEX to include only the rows where the names match. (The IFERROR is there to return nothing if there is no match, rather than an error message).
=IFERROR(INDEX(COLLECT(Combo:Combo, [Employee Full Name]:[Employee Full Name], Name@row), 1), "")
Change the 1 to a 2, 3, 4 etc. for each column. The summary table would look like this:
Hope that helps.
Re: Importing Data into existing sheet
@Tommi @Danielle Wilson @AnneSh We have a new option available now using a handy browser extension to solve this problem if you don't have access to DataShuttle or want to do an import without needing to create a DataShuttle configuration:

Re: July Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
What is a personal goal you've set for yourself this year, and how is it going?
This is a great question! One of my personal goals that I have set for myself this year is to begin documenting and recording everything about my role, duties, responsibilities, and position within our district. I am nearing my 40th year working for our local school district, and as I look forward to my eventual retirement, I was asked to not only begin documenting everything I do, but to begin recording all of the background knowledge that is contained within my brain and to begin to think toward how to transition someone new into my role while also passing along all of my historical knowledge. I am learning that this is a very daunting task, but so far, with the help of our Smartsheet tool, it is beginning to take shape. Being able to use Smartsheet to help me document all of my roles and responsibilities is essential, especially since my role was created as a new role in our district, all thanks to Smartsheet! In fact, I am also very excited that our district is truly embracing the Smartsheet tool, and our continued commitment to growing capacity within our district for using Smartsheet is also part of why my role exists. In fact, part of our commitment to growing capacity has led to our district allowing more than just me to attend Smartsheet ENGAGE! This year, I will be bringing 7 additional team members along with me in November. I am so excited for them.

Re: How do you avoid Power BI Semantic Model Error when column headers are modified (add/remove/edit)
Hey! Thanks for the recommendations.
There are other people responsible for the sheets and I cannot control them whether they need to edit stuff. Im just glad I get notifications for errors.
I've been checking BI forums for issues similar to this, but I thought of asking it here being the semantic model source if Smartsheet.
Im still open to hear other Smartsheet users workaround other than the normal process.
