VLOOKUP for attachment on another sheet

Smart sheet enables the user to upload attachments, which is useful. So what I do for my workflow is I have a full sheet dedicated for part number and part information, so when I type in a part number on the work order sheet it auto-fills the rest of the information such as description, assigned person etc using the formula "=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(Part@row, {Products Range 4}, 2, false), "Invalid Part Number")" from the Products sheet.

I have figured out how to do this for everything EXEMPT the attachments. The attachments are drawings and instructions for each part on the work order sheet. Is there any way I can reference the attachment that is also on the products sheet?

Kind Regards,

Have you considered storing the attachments somewhere other than Smartsheet? I do not believe that you can vlookup attachments from another sheet within a new one using cross-references.

The goal would be to add the reference or link to the "other location" in the smartsheet, and then you can vlookup that reference.

Hi Cody,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Mikes suggestion would be my recommendation as well.

Happy Holidays & Happy New Year!
