Is there a way to recover rows that have been deleted from a sheet?
Hi,
Three options.
I hope this helps you!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Keep in mind that even with the backup:
1. You will not be able to restore any cell history.
2. You will not be able to put the comments back in with the correct layout. (time/date/user stamped, etc)
3. You will not be able to restore the original value of any system column where an index was created. (e.g. a unique ID or counter)
4. You most likely will not be able to restore the attachments correctly because even with a backup none of the attachments have markings to show what row they were attached to.
So yes, you may be able to restore the latest cell value, but you have lost much.
So glad you're on top of this issue, Brad. This is a major flaw in Smartsheet, and I am surprised that it hasn't been addressed yet.
I have a situation where rows in our archive got deleted so our metrics cannot be displayed for historical transactions through a sheet. I have an Activity Log export, but the data comes across as one row, no clear delimiter. Is there a way to easily turn that data back into a row in Smartsheet?
Example below:
Row 8129: "STOCK" Row ID: MvTkt8991 Requested Date: 04/14/2022 Lead Time: 7
Above I've put in four different fields
Primary Column = STOCK
Row ID = MvTkt8991
Requested Date = 4/14/2022
Lead Time = 7
I haven't had to deal with restoring data that was inadvertently deleted, so trying to understand what the most efficient option/s are to handle this without spending a ton of time on it.
I made a mistake and end up deleting information from one of my sheets, but now I cannot find a way to recover a previous version of this sheet to recover my original file. I need help to fix this, and it seems Smartsheet is really lacking this recovery feature for everything I'm reading and checking online. Any help or…
Has anyone figured out a way to use a column as a created date but not have the time stamp? It causes problems for my manager trying to use that date to pull into PBI. I know how to convert in a helper column to a year-month and a year, but those have to be text/number columns, not date columns and he can't use those…
I am looking for a way to automate a cell so that when column A displays 9 'Days Open' (or between the values 0-14) the 'Req Age' will auto populate (or trigger) the ranges provided. Image below: I want the highlighted section to auto populate based on the value in 'Days Open'
