Querying a column from another spreadsheet

I have two tasks sheets. I use one to monitor "projects". I use another to monitor "tasks". I would like to add a column called "Associated Project" to the tasks sheet. I know I can go in individually to each cell and have it link to a cell in the projects sheet. I also know I can set up a dropdown list with a projects. Can this list be dynamic and associated with a column in the project smartsheet?

This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
Automated email with number of pending records
Hello, I use Smartsheet in such way that people are asked to provide data on many records and then that data needs to be approved by one other person (always the same person). I would like to set up an automation that, each morning, checks to see if there are records waiting to be approved, and if there are, sends an…
