Metric Widget not working with specific Grid Sheet

BSReid24

I have a grid sheet that contains contact information. I am trying to pull that information into a dashboard focused on specific staff. The plan was to use a metric widget to pull the contact information for that individual (i.e., Name, Phone Number, Email, etc.).

When I add a metric widget and try to link to this grid, I select the metric widget, select the grid sheet, then click the cells and click ok… but the screen then goes back to the dashboard and nothing has been added to the widget. It still tells me to add data.

I tried to put the data in a sheet summary on that sheet and add it, but got the same results.

I tried to pull data from cells in other grid sheets, and it worked fine.

thoughts or ideas?

Hi @BSReid24 - Have you tried creating a report, filtered with the data fields needed , then creating a report widget on the dashboard? I’ve used this way before to pull in a core product team listing table w/headers.

@YveNigma I have not. I feel like that is an extra unnecessary step. I took a day break from it, and when I came back it started pulling data from that grid sheet…. so IDK what the issue was, but not it is fixed. Thank you for your time and thoughts!
