Bi-directional update between 2 sheets without report?

✭✭
edited 02/28/24 in Smartsheet Basics

Hi, is there any workaround that allows for bi-directional updates between two sheets without the use of a report?

For example, Sheet 1 has Unique ID and Status columns, same goes for Sheet 2. What I want to be able to do is if either the Status column gets updated for a project in Sheet 1 or Sheet 2, the information will flow back to the other sheet for that specific project based on the Unique ID identifier.

Any suggestion is appreciated!

    Hi @user098123


    You can't at the moment. As if you have a formula written in Sheet 1 to look at the value in Sheet 2 and then the same formula in Sheet 2 to look at the value in Sheet 1, it becomes a circular reference. Report is the only way.
