I am looking for an automatic way to generate reports that compare last month and current month. I have 6 account sheets that show totals by month and category. I would like to pull all 6 accounts into one sheet that shows last and current month totals by category. Can anyone provide guidance here? TIA.
Hi,
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Happy New Year!

You could select all sheets for the report and set the criteria as When --> Date --> Is in the last (days) --> 60. This would give you a rolling 2 month view. If you wanted strictly the past two months from the 1st of last month until current, you could include a helper checkbox column on each sheet. You could then enter
=IF(OR(MONTH([Date Column]@row) = MONTH(TODAY()), MONTH([Date Column]@row) = MONTH(TODAY()) - 1, 1)
This will check the box if the date is this month or last month. You could then set that as your criteria for your report saying to show all rows where that box is checked.
Using the TODAY() function does however require that you open the sheet to update it to the current day. If you were to not open the sheet for a few months, it would not be current.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
