Sheet Summary Metric on Dashboard
Hello,
I have a dashboard with a normal metric widget that is linked to sheet summary data from the grid sheet. It works perfectly fine all day, then every morning shows "0" until I open the source sheet, click into the sheet summary tab and save the report. When I go back to the dashboard it is the value it is supposed to be even though I did not change or really do anything besides opening the source sheet.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or know if it may be something I have wrong rather than a bug? Thanks!!

Hi @kira11
I hope you're well and safe!
Are you using the TODAY function?
Please have a look at my post below with a method I developed to update the sheet(s) daily.
More info:
Did that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

@Andrée Starå Thanks for responding! I inherited this sheet but nowhere that I can tell is using the TODAY() function and I was able to try the solution you suggested with no luck on getting the 0 to update.

Happy to help!
Can you share some screenshots and maybe the formula used in the Sheet Summary? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

@kira11 If you can share a copy of the sheet with data stripped out, I may be able to help identify the problem.
