Import Excel file and include embedded images

Hi,

I was not able to find a way to import an Excel file that has images embedded in cells, and keep those images when the import in complete. Is that possible? Am I missing something?

Or do I have to re-import those images manually, one-by-one?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Craig,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to include pictures when importing an Excel file, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Have a fantastic week!

Is this a feature that is available yet? To be able to import an Excel file with embedded images in the cells in to Smartsheet and keep those images in tact?

Theres a lot of new features but this one is pretty basic. I think i'll have to use Google sheets for this project since I cannot get images from an ADA audit sheet into smartsheet. :( Please add this feature.

This would be SO helpful. I'm trying to import a Google Sheet where users have pasted screenshots into one column to show where an issue is occuring, It's easier for the users to do this in Google Sheets, because it allows image copy/paste.

It would help if images occuring in a Google Sheet row could be added to the corresponding SmartSheet row as an attachment..

I hope you're well and safe!

Great idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Sheet shows BLANK rows, there is a "MOVE rows" worflow, is that why?
Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Sorting not working?
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
