I really appreciate the current cross‑sheet reference functionality in Smartsheet but creating additional references for the same source sheet—especially after one already exists—can feel repetitive. It would be incredibly helpful if, once a cross‑sheet reference is created, that reference became accessible to all other sheets within the same workspace.
Ideally, users could select from a list of existing references or call them directly within formulas, without needing to recreate them each time.
This would be especially valuable when:
- You need to duplicate a sheet because you’ve hit row or column limits
- Multiple sheets must be re‑synced to the same data source
- You’re working with several criteria-specific sheets that all reference the same underlying data
This enhancement would streamline setup, reduce manual duplication, and help maintain consistency across large, multi‑sheet solutions.
