Enhancement Suggestion: Pivot Table Feature

Danielle Lockett

Introduce a pivot table feature within Smartsheet to empower users with enhanced data analysis capabilities directly within their sheets. This feature will enable users to summarize and analyze data dynamically, similar to Excel pivot tables, thereby streamlining analysis workflows and enhancing productivity. The Pivot app feature is costly and does not update in realtime.

Key Features:

1. Dynamic Summarization: Allow users to summarize numerical data using functions such as sum, count, average, etc., based on selected criteria directly within Smartsheet.
2. Drag-and-Drop Interface: Implement an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for defining rows, columns, and values, making it easy for users to create and customize pivot tables quickly.
3. Filtering and Sorting: Enable robust filtering and sorting options within pivot tables to refine data views and extract actionable insights effortlessly.
4. Real-Time Updates: Ensure that pivot tables reflect real-time updates from underlying data in Smartsheet, maintaining data integrity and relevance.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Data Analysis: Empower users to perform complex data analysis tasks without exporting data to external tools, thereby saving time and reducing complexity.
• Improved Decision-Making: Facilitate quicker and more informed decision-making by providing deeper insights into project progress, resource allocation, financial performance, and more.
• User-Friendly Interface: Maintain Smartsheet’s user-friendly interface while adding powerful data analysis capabilities, ensuring accessibility for users at all levels of proficiency.

Integrating a pivot table feature into Smartsheet will enhance its value proposition as a comprehensive project and data management platform, empowering users to leverage advanced data analysis capabilities within their familiar Smartsheet environment.
