    Hi @tsmith106086

    It depends.

    How many sheets?

    I'd recommend either using cross-sheet formulas or creating a specific area in each sheet that you cell-link to collect the data to a so-called Master Metric sheet.

    Make sense?


    There's also an update coming to reports soon that can Group/Sum data (Sum, Count, Max, Min, Average) 😍 


    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@workbold.com)


    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
