Cell History Export Visually

Andria Hoyle

Hi Community,

Is there a way one could conceive of exporting cell history visually? Seeing all PO ETA notes for my supplier over the POs' lives would be useful and I use cell history often with my Supplier Notes column.

Would the solution involve archiving cell content from my Supplier Notes column as it's updated or am I way off?

I don't want to just count changes communicated, but see all notes on a timeline: "this order ETA comment changed this many times, giving our team this much notice," etc.

Thanks, all!

@Andria Hoyle You'd have to develop a script or program to use Smartsheet's API to pull out the cell history, then display it either back into a Smartsheet cell or another visualization method.

Hi @Andria Hoyle

I hope you're well and safe!

Great idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

You can build a visible cell history using automation, see below
