2 views from the same datasets

I'm working within gov trying to create 2 different views from the same datasets. I have a sheet for a given project that includes the staff (in rows) and the number of hours to work on that project for a given week (in columns). I have multiple sheets of this information (for multiple projects).

The project view (attached) I was to create is a simple report of all projects, where I can see all the staff and their workload over time for that given project.

The second view is a staff view, where I can view all the projects and workload a given staff member is working. How do I create a view like this from the same datasets? Do I need to include additional information in the original sheets to do this?

Note: within the gov version I have been unable to find the "Group" or the Resource Management functionality that seems to be available in the regular version of the tool.

  • Hi @jzapl

    You are correct that Summary & Grouping in Reports is not available in the Gov version, and neither is Resource Management at this time. (Here's more information: Capabilities in Smartsheet | Gov)

    However you can still create a Report across multiple sheets by selecting multiple sources. While this won't show any summaries, it will show you all hours across all sheets. See: Smartsheet Gov: Report on data from multiple sheets

    The second view will be the easier one based on your data:

    • Create a Row Report and select all sheets as the source
    • Filter by the Staff Name
    • Add all the date columns

    I hope that helps!
