Hi Everyone, Is there such a thing as an "if" statement then link cells?
If cell has check mark link these cells to a different sheet.
The only way I am aware of is to write an IF statement in the "different sheet". Unfortunately that would require setting up a new range for each cell and writing the individualized IF statement for each one as well.
=IF({Sheet 1 Checkbox Cell Range 1} = 1, {Sheet 1 Data Cell Range 1})
For the Checkbox Cell Range 1 you would "Reference Another Sheet" and select the checkbox in that specific row.
Data Cell Range 1 would be the data cell in the same row as the Checkbox.
Because you are referencing another sheet you will have to rewrite the IF statement in the row below it, referencing the first sheet and selecting new ranges (Checkbox and Data for the next row down) for each row on the target sheet ("different sheet").
The limitation with that is you can only have 100 unique sheet references per sheet. Since you already have 2 for each row, that would limit you to being able to pull data from only 50 cells.
If you are using this on a small scale project, it may not be too terribly tedious, but it could be rather excruciating in larger projects.
Hope this helps...
Paul, can the values be set in a row on the linking sheet and referenced as variables in the IF statement? This would prevent having to write each IF statement individually.

Possibly. It would depend on exactly what you want and whether or not that type of format would work for your particular project.
If you are able to provide some specifics and some screenshots, we might be able to help you out a little better.
Hello everyone, I have several rows (different entries) that I would like to enter on a custom form using the "Generate Document" workflow. I did a test run and it just generated "individual" PDF form per row - and not multiple rows merged into one form as I was expected. Is there another way or methodology around this or…
Hi Smartsheet Community, I’m hoping you can help clarify a Smartsheet sharing question. I’m trying to share one specific sheet from my Smartsheet plan with two external colleagues from our partner organization. Several colleagues have mentioned they’ve successfully shared sheets with external partners before, so I’m hoping…
Is it possible to create a form on sheet 1 with information from sheet 2? On Sheet 1, I'm tracking what we ship and receive. On Sheet 2, I'm tracking the shipping requirements. I want to pull data from this sheet for a shipping request form on sheet 1.
