Hi there
Appreciate this has been raised a lot of times by a lot of people - can you provide an updated ETA on this functionality and perhaps share some of the challenges in its delay?
Thanks so much,
Sandi
Hi Sandi,
Thanks for checking in on this. We are planning on releasing cross-sheet formulas in February. If you have a CSM (Customer Success Manager), please check with them and see if they can enroll you in our Early Adopter Program (EAP) so that you can try the functionality out a bit sooner.
Hope this helps,
Kara
You can now reference data from other sheets in formulas!
Create a master lookup table sheet and use VLOOKUP to find data on another sheet.
More information on this new feature is available in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476606-formulas-reference-data-from-other-sheets
I tried the new VLOOKUP feature and it's pretty cool. My question however, why do the cells you are "looking up" have to be next to each other? If I want to use VLOOKUP I'll have to reorder the lookup table.
They don't -- just the left most column does. You COULD select the whole source sheet if your reference column was on the left.
If that does not work for you, try using INDEX() and MATCH(). Much more flexible. I don't use them as often as I should because some customers have a hard time to grok them.

Here is the message I get when I tried to look up a value. The value I'm matching on is the leftmost value (ID). I want to return the value in SOC1. If I move SOC1 next to ID and select both columns, it works just fine.
Hold the shift key down when you are selecting the 'second' column. Count the number of columns (the left most is 1). Put that number in your 3rd argument of the VLOOKUP
Yea, I tried that and it worked. I was just hoping I didn't have to select all of the columns in between the leftmost column and my 'second' column.
Take a look at INDEX and MATCH mentioned earlier.
Only index and return column needed.
I'm receiving this message every time I try to open my sheets. I'm the only admin user. I have already performed proper troubleshooting, such as clearing the cache, logging in incognito, and logging out and back in, but the issue remains unresolved. It's been a few days, and I'm unable to track our projects and this…
I’ve created an automation that generates a document and forwards it to the individual specified in a cell. The line item also has several additional attachments associated with it. Is there a way to include those attachments with the generated document?
I have an automation set up that copies a row to another sheet each day. The automation itself works correctly, but the problem is that it copies the formulas rather than the values, which causes the formulas to break and return errors. How can I configure it to copy only the values instead of the formulas?
