How to create 2-way sharing across sheets?

Options

Hi,


I am trying to make certain cells accessible for 2 way sharing. Is there a function like cell-linking that is available 2-ways? There is some financial data but mostly personnel/task and resources.

Thank you,


Esperanza

    Hi Esperanza,

    Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

    Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

    As a possible workaround, we could maybe structure a solution with so-called helper columns and/or a third-party service.

    What do you think?

    Would that work?

    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@getdone.se)

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    Another possibility would be a report. Cells that are locked or have formulas cannot be edited in the report, but unlocked/manual entry cells can be edited in the report or the sheet, and it will update the other automatically.
