Combining rows with like names
We have a sheet set up with forms to allow for participants of a contest to #1 register for the contest, then #2 go to the second form to update their progress in the contest. Is there a way to combine rows when a someone submits the same name or email address, for easier tracking? Something that is automated to create less work for the actual smartsheet user?

When the participant submits their weekly activity via a form, we would like to have the rows combine, so we don't have so many rows. I am not sure if this makes sense or not. So when there is a like name, or email, the info from all the different rows combine together.

Yes it is possible using multiple sheets
Sheet A would be where all the form submissions go to, this sheet is in the background no one looks at it.
Sheet B would be a roll up sheet. Using an email address as a unique identifier, Join(Collect cross refence formulas could combine all entries into a single row.

Dumb question, but how do I create the second sheet, the Roll up sheet?

Can you tell me how to do this?

I am interested in something similar! I am collecting skill information from a form...but if the manager completes the form multiple times for their employee I want all of the skills on one row for that employee....
