External Mass Updates

Nicholas Cambre

Hi! I am working with an inventory style Smart sheet, that tracks the location of monitors and desktops. i.e is the computer checked out to an employee, or is the item available to be shipped. I am "checking out" assets in groups of 50 at a time, through excel as this is faster than a one-by-one search in Smartsheets. My ask is this: Is there a way to take the information from Excel and upload the data to Smartsheets to update the assets that exist here? Thank you in advance for any guidance that can be provided!

Hi @Nicholas Cambre

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

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)

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds (depending on the details, one of these might work)

• Premium add-on, Data Shuttle
• A so-called Import Sheet

Would any of those options work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,
