Auto populate from one sheet into blank rows on another

Hi All!

I searched for this, but couldn't find an answer. Maybe it doesn't exist!

I'm trying to set up a new dashboard for sales reps. In one sheet I will have them fill out all of their activities. I was TRYING to get them to fill out all information on one sheet to keep things simple for them. Is there a way for me to set it up so that when they fill out customer contact information, that info automatically populates into a new spreadsheet that we have just for contacts?

Maybe this is too much for a spreadsheet.

Thanks!

Hi Katie,

Yes, it is, and there are a few different ways to accomplish it. Depending on your set-up and needs.

1. Use Cell linking to link the information from one sheet to another.

2. Use Cross-sheet Formulas

3. Use a service like Zapier or similar to copy the information from one sheet to another.

Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

I would lean more towards #3 of Andree's suggestions as x-sheet references and cell linking won't CREATE another row whenever a new row is added to the master sheet.

I personally haven't used Zapier, so I can't speak to it's ease of use/flexibility/capabilities, but judging by what I have seen in other posts about it, it may be the best solution for you.

Hi all, and thanks in advance! I wanted to know if there was any way to create "padding" in Smartsheet. Basically I have account numbers, and a handful are still 2-digit, so they appear as TDL-17, TDL-67, etc. Most of the accounts are 3-digit numbers like TDL-180.
