Why is the Report Builder Icon not showing? Just a refresh button.

Hi, I'm new to Smartsheet. I'm trying to edit the columns in my report, but report builder is not showing. All I see is a refresh button. I've included an image below.

HI @lexiwalk

When creating the report did you select Sheet Summary?

• A Summary Report will only take the System Admin columns and the Sheet Summary Fields in the side panel of the sheet.
• A Row Report will look at the Columns and Rows in the actual grid of the sheet.

Cheers

Hi, yes I'm selected Sheet Summary because I wanted to work with numbers. I saw online that you can use the report builder to edit reports, but it's not showing up for me.

OK, drill a little further. Have you created any sheet summary's on the Source sheet/s?

While you can edit Via a report I prefer to edit on source sheets, leaving the report data for Dashboard display.
