Answers

Hi, I am new to SmartSheets and new to the community. If I change, remove, edit columns in a Sheet is there a way I can apply the same changes to the corresponding reports?

Hi @JanelleGraf
- If you change the Name of a column in a sheet, that name will automatically be updated in the Report.
- Note that if you're referencing multiple sheets and the name only is changed in 1 sheet, this will appear as an indented column reference in the Column list. Here's more information:
- If you delete a column from a sheet, and that sheet is referenced in a Report, the column will appear in the Report with blank data. You can find deleted columns at the bottom of the column list:
- If you change a column by adjusting the type, this column is now see as a new column, as if you deleted it and then added a new one into the sheet with a new name.
- This means you will need to re-select the column in your Report.
- If your Report has more than one sheet, that newly changed column will be a separate column than the other sheet's columns, even if it has the same name. You will need to re-select it to show the new data/column type See:
Cheers,
