Combined Reports

I have a combined report that is pulling information from 10 different smartsheets.  The columnar information is the same from each of the smartsheets.  I have it grouping by the smartsheet the information is coming from, but I would like the "title" of the smartsheet to show up at the beginning of the data from each sheet.

 

Thoughts on how this might be accomplished?

    1) At the top of the task column for each sheet, enter the name of the sheet.

     

    2) Make sure to populate a column that would trigger the selection for the report.  You could even add a hidden column to accomplish this. And include that hidden column in ther report criteria.

     

    That is what I do for report headers

     

    Additionally, you can add a hyperlink to the cell that contains the name of the sheet in step one.  This provides the reader of the report a link back to the project sheet if desired.

     

    I hope that helps,

    That does help.  Thanks

     

    I also found you can make the header a poarent task to all the other ones.  That always keeps it on top too.

  • I may be misreading the question, but reports by default have a "sheet name" column. Is that what you are looking for?

  • I am looking for a "header" of sorts, only prints out above all the projects.

     

    1. OFFICE A SCHEDULE
    2.        Project Number 1
    3.        Project Number 2
    4.        Project Number 3
    5.        etc...

    not a separate "sheet name" on each line.
