Linked sheets & inserting columns

Elisecastle

Hi all

I am trying to build a compiled set of project "master reporting" that pulls data in from up to 100 individual project sheets.

The issue I have is that if I want an additional column to be added into both levels, I need to add to each individual project, then relink each individual project in the "master reporting" file.

If I had excel with a tab per project I'd select all tabs, insert the column once and have it replicated. I'd then drag across the linking formulas in a "master report".

I cannot use a report to compile the data because further calculations are needed and I found you cannot link out from a report, or do calculations within a report.

Is there a way to mass update links, and/or make changes across multiple sheets of the same structure at once?

Thanks

Hi @Elisecastle

I hope you're well and safe!

A solution that would be perfect for this use case is the premium add-on, Control Center. Is that an option?
