Referencing other sheets

Hello,

I have a sheet where I want to add totals in 7 other sheets for January - December for several drugs.

When I get to February, it tells me I am at the max for references. I think it was 15.

We have 7 squads...each squad seizes many drugs per month. I am trying to get the grand total of the drugs for all 7 squads for each month. I had a listing of drugs and then tried to add the squad totals to that.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks!

You may need to run the totals for each squad and then add those together.

Ok thank you...I think you are right!

I personally find it's more helpful doing it this way anyway. If there is ever an issue with any data, it is much easier to drill down on the problem if your pieces are spread out a bit.

Hello,

I wanted to chime in on this thread to help explain the cross-sheet reference limit. Each sheet can include no more than 100 distinct cross-sheet references. There's also a limit of 25,000 inbound cells that can be referenced from other sheets into one sheet in total.

Duplicate references do not count against the distinct cross-sheet reference limit, but if you were to change the name of the reference or the range of cells being referenced, this would count as a new distinct cross-sheet reference.

If you're referencing 25,000 cells, Paul's suggestion would help reduce the number of cells you're referencing.

If needed, more information on this can be found in our help article: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476606-formulas-reference-data-from-other-sheets

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.

How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
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
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
