Sheet scalability

I have a sheet that I built for year-end performance reviews.

 

The sheet is designed for one person.

 

My company has 50+ employees and it would be great if I can run some sort of macro/app that would take the sheet and replicate it 50 times with each sheet adding a new name from a contact list.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Ian

  • You may want to consider turning your sheet into a form.  Seeing an example would be helpful.  

     

    I have seen a Zapier (I believe) that generates a new sheet based on a trigger as well.

    Ian,

     

    I am with Sarah, change the sheet to be for multiple people, do not share but send then the web form.  If you want Conditional branching create a Google form which allows it anf it will create the smartsheet.

    Use oogle docs to mail merge reports to document or PDF

     

    Much better that 1 sheet per person.

  • Each person has different goals on their performance reviews, so a webform wouldn't work

    This is definitely something Zapier and Azuqua can do! They can create sheets based off a trigger (such as adding data to a row). Once set up, if you add 50 names to 50 rows, 50 sheets could be created with the respective name included in each new sheet.

    For my team, I created one sheet for me and the build a Report for each team member to view.

     

    I would Save-New to keep the completed reviews and cleanup the sheet for the next period.

     

    But I only had 12 reports.
