Using LOOKUP function on a sheet with a form to add rows
I am having some trouble with using the LOOKUP function on a sheet I have. We want to use a form to create a ad placement name that includes abbreviations of what the user selects.

Run report for current month
Let's say my task sheet has dates that tasks are created - not necessary TODAY. And I want to run a report if the created date is this month.

Create Report that Queries Every Schedule
Is it possible to create a report that queries every schedule, even the schedules that I do not have sharing privileges? I thought I could possibly do this through the SysAdmin account, or use the SysAdmin account to add myself to view all schedules. I am trying to create a report that lists all schedule entries labeled…

Smartsheet Sights - Minimizing views
We have 200 users using approximately 50 sheets and have found the view very cumbersome for the users to scroll through a list. We have created a smartsheet "site" (using the site feature) linked to other "sites" that emulates a web base design. Where we are currently stuck is that we are looking for a way to direct our…
