Ask questions about the core Smartsheet application: Sheets, Forms, Reports, Dashboards, and more.

Project Status Report > Horizontal View

In our team project trackers, we are leveraging worksheets with grandparent/parent/child relationships to organize by the the different business/clients/projects. Our desired automated reporting output is to transpose most of what is captured in a row format into a column to enable a snapshot view that is horizontal in layout. Below is an image of our desired output.

I have searched other questions for a recent solve, but not seeing anything exactly like we are looking for. Any recommendations for how we can easily solve for this? We unfortunately need to find a quick solve, so hoping there are existing templates or formulas we could easily implement.

    Hi @ecc611

    I am not that familiar with the smartsheet templates, but whenever we have a situation where someone needs a report to match the format they are used to and not the smartsheet way, I make that report using formula in a sheet. Unfortunately, it isn't a quick fix.

    Hi,

    I hope you're well and safe!

    This doesn't look too difficult to convert to Smartsheet.

    Try something like this. (Callouts are columns to add)

    Make sense?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
