I have a list of project numbers that I need to count, the issue is that the different people may be working on different areas of the same project so duplicates need to be automatically excluded.

If you can give more details, I may be able to help with a more specific solution to your case.

I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
Hello team! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season.

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.
