ETA on VLookup functionality

Sandi

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.

J. Craig Williams

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.

"Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required." line on every form.
Hi, "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required." is the very first line in the body of every form I create. I don't remember seeing it before (unless you missed filling out a required field; then you would see the message). Is there a way to turn it off or change it? None of my forms are in English so the message is…
