If a filter is active in a Smartsheet will it impact a report results?

C Forness

We had a question come up from our team. If a Smartsheet has a filter applied, will it have any impact on a report that includes that Smartsheet? For example, when a Smartsheet has a filter applied that shows the tasks assigned to a current user. If that filter is active within a Smartsheet when I run a report (that includes that Smarstheet) will the results show ONLY the person's name that is filtered? Or will it ignore the active filter on that Smartsheet and per the parameters of the report, list all of the names of the people assigned to any task on the Smartsheet? Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

Hi @C Forness

I hope you're well and safe!

No, filters don't affect the reporting.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
