Only pull newest value of primary column into report
I use a grid smartsheet with form input to track audits for locations within my hospital. I need to keep all the inputs in the tracker, but only have the most recent audit appear in my report. Help!

You should be able to do this with 2 helper columns.
- Create an auto-numbered columns, let's call it "Row ID"
- Create a checkbox column "Most Recent" with the formula: =IF([Row ID]@row = MAX([Row ID]:[Row ID]), 1, 0)
That will only check the row with the largest "Row ID", which would be your latest entry. Then just filter your report to "Most Recent" is "Checked".
