Hi there
Appreciate this has been raised a lot of times by a lot of people - can you provide an updated ETA on this functionality and perhaps share some of the challenges in its delay?
Thanks so much,
Sandi
Hi Sandi,
Thanks for checking in on this. We are planning on releasing cross-sheet formulas in February. If you have a CSM (Customer Success Manager), please check with them and see if they can enroll you in our Early Adopter Program (EAP) so that you can try the functionality out a bit sooner.
Hope this helps,
Kara
You can now reference data from other sheets in formulas!
Create a master lookup table sheet and use VLOOKUP to find data on another sheet.
More information on this new feature is available in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476606-formulas-reference-data-from-other-sheets
I tried the new VLOOKUP feature and it's pretty cool. My question however, why do the cells you are "looking up" have to be next to each other? If I want to use VLOOKUP I'll have to reorder the lookup table.
They don't -- just the left most column does. You COULD select the whole source sheet if your reference column was on the left.
If that does not work for you, try using INDEX() and MATCH(). Much more flexible. I don't use them as often as I should because some customers have a hard time to grok them.

Here is the message I get when I tried to look up a value. The value I'm matching on is the leftmost value (ID). I want to return the value in SOC1. If I move SOC1 next to ID and select both columns, it works just fine.
Hold the shift key down when you are selecting the 'second' column. Count the number of columns (the left most is 1). Put that number in your 3rd argument of the VLOOKUP
Yea, I tried that and it worked. I was just hoping I didn't have to select all of the columns in between the leftmost column and my 'second' column.
Take a look at INDEX and MATCH mentioned earlier.
Only index and return column needed.
I have inly one user in my trial account. When I am trying to upgrade to PRO plan it is defaulting for 2 users and not allowing me to upgrade the plan for only one user. Please help.
We are curious if anyone is experiencing issues with automations that are to generate emails. We've been seeing gaps with a number of these automation on various sheets, where the sheet will record a date of when the email was sent, but it is either never received by the recipients or it is received hours or a day later.…
I can create a Chart in Dashboard from sheet well but from Report is not working now. I just try with simple Report (just contain 2 column Primary and Number) but cannot make the chart. Is there any changes recently right, because I haven't worked with Smartsheet dashboard for a long time and I remembered that I could do…
