Bulk Cell Linking - Columns

camr

Hello - I am trying to perform the following actions, which would happen in this order:

1. Person Inputs Project Information into Intake Form, which gets added to our master report.
   1. Column Examples - Project Name - Project Address - Project City / State
2. A New Project Folder would be Created for this Project, Which Needs the Information Linked to its SnapShot Page (In the Same Order)

It seems I can't just highlight and bulk link across columns into cells, which is a huge pain.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Thank you,

Cam

Hi @camr

I hope you're well and safe!

Strange!

You should be able to cell-link multiple cells (but you must select the cells and not the columns).

Another option could be to use cross-sheet formulas (VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH).

Make sense?

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hi Andrée -

If I have a master document for "Project A", and there is a schedule for this in the seperate "Project A" folder, would index match work for that use case for rolling up and keeping the master sheet updated?

Appreciate the response!

Happy to help!

Yes, as long as they are connected and there's something unique we can use to match the data.

Here's more information.

VLOOKUP Function | Smartsheet Learning Center

https://help.smartsheet.com/function/vlookup

Looks up a value and returns a corresponding value in the same row but from a different column.

INDEX Function | Smartsheet Learning Center

https://help.smartsheet.com/function/index

Returns an item from a collection based on provided row and column indexes

MATCH Function | Smartsheet Learning Center

https://help.smartsheet.com/function/match

Returns the relative position of a value in a range (lookup table). The first position is 1.
