We create a detailed Gantt chart for each project we are working internally. I'd like to roll up that data to a higher view where I can see where we stand with each project on a single Gantt chart. Is this possible?
Hi,
Yes, either with a report or thru cell linking to another sheet.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic week!

I tried to do this as well, but never landed on a super clean outcome.
The struggle is that any "New" project that you create is not automatically included in your preexisting "Roll-up" view. You would have to manually add any new projects to the cell linking each time a new one was created.
I'm currently working on a possible solution by using the "Reports" tool, but it still requires a small bit of manual hand holding. I am putting all of my active projects into a single directory in Smartsheet. Then each time I want to roll all of the active projects into a single report, I have to manually update the "Where?" selection by unselecting then reselecting the entire folder where the active projects are stored. This picks up any newly added projects. Then the results can be displayed in the report, which I have set to show as a Gantt View.
If this sounds like a feasible solution for you, I can attempt to provide more specific details. The main trick is to organize whatever projects you want to be included into a single directory in Smartsheet. Then you can move them out of that folder (but not a subdirectory of the same folder) once you no longer want them to be included.
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
