Is there a way to recover rows that have been deleted from a sheet?
Hi,
Three options.
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Keep in mind that even with the backup:
1. You will not be able to restore any cell history.
2. You will not be able to put the comments back in with the correct layout. (time/date/user stamped, etc)
3. You will not be able to restore the original value of any system column where an index was created. (e.g. a unique ID or counter)
4. You most likely will not be able to restore the attachments correctly because even with a backup none of the attachments have markings to show what row they were attached to.
So yes, you may be able to restore the latest cell value, but you have lost much.
So glad you're on top of this issue, Brad. This is a major flaw in Smartsheet, and I am surprised that it hasn't been addressed yet.
I have a situation where rows in our archive got deleted so our metrics cannot be displayed for historical transactions through a sheet. I have an Activity Log export, but the data comes across as one row, no clear delimiter. Is there a way to easily turn that data back into a row in Smartsheet?
Example below:
Row 8129: "STOCK" Row ID: MvTkt8991 Requested Date: 04/14/2022 Lead Time: 7
Above I've put in four different fields
Primary Column = STOCK
Row ID = MvTkt8991
Requested Date = 4/14/2022
Lead Time = 7
I haven't had to deal with restoring data that was inadvertently deleted, so trying to understand what the most efficient option/s are to handle this without spending a ton of time on it.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
