I am trying to get a sheet to link into another however we want to be able to use the sheet over and over again and have it where it will link in new rows.
Is there a way to do this?
Please Help
Thanks
Hi Justin,
You'll need to use a formula with a cross-sheet reference instead of a cell link.
Depending on how the source sheet is structured and the information contained (e.g. are there a fixed number of rows/cells or will new rows be continually added to this sheet as well) will determine the way you go about this.
Could you please tell us a little more about what your sheets look like?
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
I have attached two files for you to assist me with. I would like the Project Check in sheet to be the sheet we keep using over and over again. The Project Information Sheet is the sheet I would like to use as the master.
I also would like to use the Project Check in sheet as a URL link from another sheet and then link it to the project information sheet as well.
I have attached a copy of where I would like to use the URL Link as well for the Project Check in form for each project.
Chris,
Is there anything I can do for the information I provided above?
So just to be clear (as you've not clearly included the sheet names in both images):
Assuming this, is the following what you're looking to achieve:
If this is correct, you will first need to add a unique identifier column into the Project Information sheet. Essentially a Project Code. This will ensure that you only one possible row can exist for each project. This would prevent issues with the one Contract Holder (Firm Name) having more than one contract. Maybe use an Autonumber column?
So if I'm on the right track, you'd want to do the following in your Project Check-in sheet template:
When I put the following formula in to the project check in sheet because that is where I would like all the information to go into from the Project Information Sheet I am getting an INVALID REF
Here is the formula:
=INDEX({Project Information Sheet Range 1}, MATCH([Project Code]1, {{Project Information Sheet Range 2}))

I actually got it working now. I do have one more question. Will the cross reference information work if we fill out a form rather than a sheet?
Glad to hear you got things working. Yes a sheet that is populated via a form will still work.
Hello, smarter friends: I'm trying to learn how to utilize automations to move certain rows to new sheets in order to explore if my larger/longer ranging goal is possible. Where I'm Currently Stuck: I can't even figure out how to create functional auto to send a row to a basic sheet. That is my immediate need. But if…
I'm having issues accessing Smartsheet in both the desktop app and web browser and continually get the below error message…I need to refresh multiple times to get it to work. And sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt:
This just started today… For some reason, I can no longer edit fields in my Smartsheet. One I'm the owner of. I do see an icon in the upper right that says "Comment Only", but can't figure out how to change it. Here a screenshot of what I am seeing:
