Summarising Data as a Metric

Albert Hart

We run many projects using smartsheet, each project has a seperate sheet and always adding more. We would like a metric on a dashboard to show the number of x tasks due (i.e. shop drawings or site measure) It is easy enough to count this on a single sheet using sheet summaries, but as you can't select metrics from multiple sheets on the dashboard we can not get a total count of 'like' taks due.

Can anyone help?

Yes, it would be fantastic if it was automatic.

When it's removed, it would still work if it's set up correctly, and when you add sheets, you'll need to add it to the metrics sheet and similar.

Make sense?

Hi @Albert Hart

I’d recommend creating a so-called Master Metric Sheet where you collect all metrics.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thanks @Andrée Starå ,

I was hoping for a more automated solution as I think with this way the formulas with break each time a sheet is removed or added to a workspace? Or is that not correct? thanks for your help!
