Report sections

JGL

Is there any way to create sections within reports that have their own column headings?

 

I want to combine two reports with mostly different fields into a single report to send to management.

Using the standard report layout, I end up with a bunch of blank cells and long narrow columns.

If there is no workaround for this, I guess my only option is to send two separate reports...

Data is added to columns in a report based on the columns in the sheet. If you want data to be combined neatly, then the column names and types will need to be identical across your sheets.

 

A good practice is to create a custom template with your preferred sheet setup and have you and your users create new sheets from that template.

Hi JGL,

Rolling up data for management, including across multiple reports, is one of the primary uses for Sights, which is a new add-on feature in Smartsheet. You could create a Sight with 2 report widgets as well as additional widgets with any notes or key metrics you'd like to share with management.
