Sheet Summary Fields in Notifications

jws

Is there a way to add sheet summary fields in a notification? It is possible to add cells by using {{Field}} but this doesn't work for the summary fields. Any inputs are much appreciated.

Hi,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a workaround, you could link from the Sheet Summary to a so-called helper column and then use that as a placeholder.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Best,

Thanks Andree. I will submit a request. The helper columns would work but not as cleanly as referencing a summary fields. I could always hide them too.

Excellent!

Happy to help!

You could use helper columns and hide them as well. That's what I do in most of my client solutions.

I submitted a request as well - seems crazy it hasn't been added yet.

@Genevieve P. Just mentioning you here ;)

I too would like this option. It's a good way to have summaries information sent to users. (In my case scrap-reporting, received in inbox as to report elsewhere (excel-file))

Would this be possible to do in another sheet?

So sheet X has all kinds of information and summaries.

Sheet Y has some(or all) summaries from sheet X.

It would 'freeze' information by sending that information from a set schedule to certain stakeholders (scrap report for the past week)
