Referencing 2 sheets with imported excel sheets
Hi folks
I have an excel book with 2 sheets. One sheet has a ledger and it updates the totals in another sheet. Is it possible to import the excel sheet and have it work the same without any changes or would I have to start again.
Thank you for any pointers.;

You can import the data easily enough, but more than likely will have to rewrite some of the formulas. You will certainly have to rewrite the cross-communication between sheets.
Most excel formulas will show up (so long as you have that radio button checked) in smartsheet's import wizard, and they can work, but I tend to get some unparseable cells or broken references and have to reverify that the data and formulae all did what they were supposed to. I've never had a transfer that I didn't have to polish a bit on the back end. The more complicated your references are, the more likely you are to see something break, but you might get lucky. Can't hurt to try.

Hi so I would just make two sheets in smart sheet and name them the same as my other 2 in excel.
thanks very much for your answer.
I am just trying out smart sheet at the moment to see what it has over excel or the likes. Is there a comparison that you know of.
thanks again.
