Feature request(s)- More widgets and easier integration on active updates

Hi there, i would love it if you added more widgets and infographics to the symbols section. On top of that they should be more interactive and easier to program. Right now i am stuck making endless "IF" statements and your system is cruel to program. It took a long time to get the IF statement correct.

Thanks for your feedback. We'd love to know more about what you were looking to accomplish and why. This will help us to provide recommendations and best understand your feedback.

Could you please let us know more specifically what you wanted to accomplish using the IF statements? What made this difficult for you? Also, what kinds of additional symbols are you looking for, and why?

Best regards,

Daniel

Thanks Michael for the details. We've recorded your votes for these features, as Shaine mentioned in the other thread. We agree that charting would be very useful and are looking into this. Please keep any feedback and questions coming!

Best regards,

Daniel

While we don't yet have native graphs and charts in Smartsheet, you may like to check out a couple of alternative ways to create live charts based on Smartsheet data:

- Smartsheet Labs Charts

- Microsoft Power BI Smartsheet integration

Thank you. Power BI looks promising but it would be nice to stay out of the microsoft ecosystem because it requires payment to join power BI and then payment to join MS 360 etc etc... a lot of little tools and connectors.

Power BI is actually free and can be used by itself, without an Office 365 subscription, so it may be suitable for your purposes. There is also a paid "pro" version of Power BI that has additional storage and features.
