Linking Attachments from other Sheets

Joe Calderazzo

I have a project Functional Requirements Document that has numerous rows that reference various documents. I have created a document library on a separate sheet and attached documents to the specific rows they reference on the document library sheet to keep the number of attachments uploaded to a single attachment for version history and single source of documentation. Is there a way to reference this single attachment on the document library into multiple rows on the functional requirements sheet? Or will I have to upload 15 copies of a single document to each of the rows on the functional requirements sheet and reupload all 15 copies every time this one document is updated?

Hi @Joe Calderazzo

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to reference an attachment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

• As a potential workaround, add filters to the Attachment sheet, create the link with the filter, and then have them shown on the other sheet with cross-sheet formulas or by adding the link to the attachment section.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
