Archiving Rows
How do you go about archiving large data sets from sheets? I know you can create automations to move rows to another sheet but what happens when that sheet gets too large as well? I have thousands of entries that happen every day and I am trying to use data shuttle to offload the data but with offloads, it just replaces the same document each time which I do not want to do. I want to be able to still access all my data for at least a year. Is there a way to get all my data from a sheet into data table?
Basically I want all rows from the last 4 months to stay in the sheet but the rest i want to be able to export or offload to an excel file so that I have that data still. Is there a way to automatically do this with data shuttle or data table or do I need to go to my archive sheet, export it and delete everything on a set frequency or make additional archive sheets?

If your Smartsheet license includes API Tokens it's worth exploring that route. You can customize just about anything you want. It would require novice level knowledge with a programming language like Python, but shouldn't be terribly difficult to achieve. I've been able to create automated exports from Smartsheet to Excel on a daily basis. Asking straightforward prompts with ChatGPT has been an incredible asset for the framework in coding.
