Editing multiple sheets at once

Hi,

I've been working with over 50 sheets in a workspace. Each sheet contains info of a different country.

Now if I make a change in one of the columns in a sheet, I have to replicate the change in each of the files individually.

Is there a way to make a change across the same column in all the sheets at once?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Adarsh

I don't know much about it, but have you looked into the SS Control Center yet?

Happy to help!

If you've set up the sheets/projects with Control Center, you can do something called Global Updates that can, for example, find and replace or add/change columns and much more.

Hope that helps!

Since this question was asked in 2019, I would like to check in and see if there are any updates to this question. I am wanting to do the same thing, Update a column in multiple sheets in a workspace at one time. I would rather not have to purchase an add on such as Control Center. I HATE asking sales for pricing because it's either such a hassle to get a simple price quote or the price is so astronomical that it's not feasible. I currently have the Enterprise Plan but finding it is not much better than the basic business plan when it comes to features. I am trying to find a work arounds to purchasing add ons.

I have a dashboard that has a report widget and I was wondering, can that widget also show the documents attached to a row so you can click on them or is that only in the sheet?
