Wondering if there is a way to sort rows of a sheet on open.
Otherwise you have to set this up manually each time. If this is a smart sheet you would think it would be able to do this.
Hi Steve,
Unfortunately, it's not possible. Great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
A possible workaround could be to have a report that's sorted with the same criteria.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic week!

As a work around would you be able to create a report that shows all of the data in your source sheet? The report can be sorted and will always open with your pre-defined sort order. You can still edit data in the report (view). However, if you want to insert new rows & columns or forumlas you need to edit the sheet.
I agree with Mike and Andree. Reports will allow you to pull the data from the main sheet and display in a sorted format. Edits made to the report are immediately reflected on the main sheet. You can't, however, edit cells that contain formulas in a report.
Let us know if you that worked for you and if you got it working!

I'm looking to create a formula that will count the number of overdue tasks. This is based on the "assigned to", "status" and "due date". My current formula is =COUNTIFS({[Sheet Name]}, <TODAY(), {[Sheet Name]}, ="[Assigned To]"). However, this is pulling tasks that are due in the past, but are completed.
In the above image the green is the parent line, where some are calculating the child line %'s below, however in the lower half of the image it's not doing so. Any suggestions please? Thanks!
I have a sheet where I query 14 other sheets to collect all sorts of data (unique values from sheet into a column) and in another column I use an Index distinct collect to get all the unique value from those 14 columns, this is the 'Index' column. At some point a user will want to generate a certificate associted with the…
