Adding a link to specific row on a sheet

I have a sheet that has hundreds of rows and want to add an anchor type link to the top of that sheet so that I can easily go to a specific row within that sheet. Can someone help me with this?

This feature is not available in Smartsheet.

With the Sheet, Ctrl+G is the go-to command, but you need to know the row number you want to go to and this can not be embedded in a cell or formula.

I suggest you submit an enhancement request (using the link to the right)

Hi,

I have a workaround that might help.

Create a Table of content section in the sheet (at the top)
Create a new column (Count)
Use the following formula in the Count column.

=1 + 0 (Copy down the whole sheet)
Create a new column (RowID)
Use the following formula in the RowID column, cell 1. =COUNT(Count$1:Count@row) (Copy down the whole sheet)
Create a new column (Row)
Use the following formula in the Row column.

="CTRL/CMD+G " + RowID@row
Link the different sections of the sheet to the ToC in the at the top with the following formula. =Row16 (for row 16)
Try it by pressing the CTRL/CMD + G combination and type the number from the ToC section that you want to jump to.
You can also combine the Row and Task Name column and hide the Count, RowID and Row columns.

Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

Depending on your country you’ll need to exchange the semi-colon to a comma in the above formulas.

I hope this helps you!

Best,

Select the row of interest, Properties, Copy Link.

Post he link wherever you need.

When needed click on it, and WAIT. At least in my case (500 rows and 124 columns) nothing will happen until 40 sec later. Then suddenly the row will be selected automatically

More granular time options for needed for Workflow triggering
Currently Triggering recurring workflows are only supported at the top of each hour. For instance 10:00, or 11:00, etc. Would like the ability to set 10:30 or 10:45. Perhaps the inteface can stay hourly so it doesnt get huge, but have the ability to manually edit the time directly to any custom time.
