Copy Row by Automation

I'm copying rows that meet specific criteria from multiple project sheets into a single different sheet using an automation. When looking at the destination sheet, is there an easy way to determine what source sheet each row came from?

Similar question for reports - If a report is collecting data from multiple different sheets, is there a way to group the data based on the source sheet it came from?

    HI @Chadd

    Simplest way to do this is to have a hidden column in each sheet with a column formula to add a sheet name into the cell when other data is added to the row.

    i.e. ="Sheet 1" (or whatever works for you), make sure it is a column formula.

    You can use that to identify where the row of data came from and to sort or filter the data in reports.

    Hope that helps

    Thanks

    Paul
