Find & Replace

I did a search in the community posts, but was not able to find an answer to my question. Please forgive me if I somehow missed it.

One of the features I sorely miss in Smartsheet versus Excel is "Find" and its companion "Find & Replace". I use them daily in Excel and while I know you can filter columns in Smartsheet, it is cumbersome to use filters in a large sheet. Are there any plans to add Find or Find & Replace?

Thanks,

Colt

Hi Colt45! We don’t have any immediate plans to add this functionality but I will pass your suggestion along to our product team.

You guys have a wonderful tool taking shape here. I want to second that feature request-- Find & Replace, aka Replace -- and say that this is super fundamental to the world of spreadsheet editing. Thanks

Travis

Thanks for the kind words, Phillip! I will also add your vote for this

kevin molcard

I second this.

Find and replace would be very helpful.

David Kent

I would also like to see this functionality.

This need becomes more and more necessary the more extensively a customer uses the product and buiilds in depth, complicated sheets that make bulk edits difficult without functionality like this.

Robert Bell

+1 This is absolutley required, especially when using templates. this is not a nice to have this is a critical missing feature.

Victoria Rollins

Agreed - Replaceing "ID" in my templates with the name of the Instructional Designer assigned to the project would be a HUGE timesaver.

Travis

Thanks everyone! Kevin, David, Robert, and Victoria - your votes have been submitted!

This would be so useful. Having only been using SmartSheet for a few days I'm already missing this functionality compared to Excel and Project.

Gerhard van Geest

A very basic, often used feature; really needs to be implemented in Smartsheet! Further keep up good work Smartsheet! Brilliant product.

I'm in bad need of this feature right now as I need to find contacts in my current file and replace with contacts in My Contacts. Any eta on when this will be worked on? This feature is a natural for those of us used to Excel and assume similar functionality out of Smartsheet due to some of the visual similarities.

Thanks

Travis

Laura, Richard, Gerhard, and Erik, I have added your votes!

I do not have any information on this functionality being added to the application but our Product team is aware of the high number of users requesting this.

Here is a link to our product roadmap which shows the features we are currently working on: http://www.smartsheet.com/product-roadmap

At the moment I am exporting to Excel, doing the F&R, and then pasting back in again...

Meritza Webb

I'm jumping on the bandwagon in agreement as well. This would be VERY beneficial.
