I create Reports frequently and am comfortable with the process. What I'm wondering is if there is an easy way to create a Report from within a Sheet that is based on that same Sheet? I guess I'm looking for an option in the File menu that says Create a Report from this Sheet vs. starting a new Report and then selecting the sheet I was just in. Have I missed something? Future improvements?
Thanks!Diane
Hi Diane,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

I do love your idea though of being able to create a report directly from a sheet.
Hi, I have a very simple automation set up where if the box is checked, change the dropdown column for that row to COE Team. I tried it and it didn't work. I waited for about an hour to see if it was taking a long time but it still is not working. There is no formula involved with the automation so it would be a manual…
I was archiving critical accounting data from one sheet to another by moving the rows. This is something I've done countless times in the past decade of using Smartsheet. This time, after moving nearly 3500 rows of data, I realized none of the attachments moved with the rest of the data. I've opened a case but have had…
