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.
Has anyone found a workaround for sharing Smartsheet reports externally without giving access to internal data? I currently have to download the data and transfer it onto excel to create a pivot table for our client and I want to find an easier way to do so. I also already create a dashboard for our client, but I wanted…
Hello team! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. I am trying to set up an automation that will send an email reminder one time when Next Update Date = 60 days, then another automation at 30d, etc. The key is I only want it to send the reminder one time when Next Update threshold is reached. Is this possible?…
I have an automation setup to escalate to managers when a step goes beyond 2 days. I have that titled as Escalation for Purchasing, Escalation for Planning, etc. In my trial run, 3 out of 6 showed up as Reminder: New part number request log ( this is the name of the sheet) The only thing we could see was that the ones that…
