I create Reports frequently and am comfortable with the process. What I'm wondering is if there is an easy way to create a Report from within a Sheet that is based on that same Sheet? I guess I'm looking for an option in the File menu that says Create a Report from this Sheet vs. starting a new Report and then selecting the sheet I was just in. Have I missed something? Future improvements?
Thanks!Diane
Hi Diane,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Happy New Year!

Andrée, thank you for your prompt reply. I submitted the Enhancement Request and look forward to seeing this in some future release.
Another option would be to create your report, then do a "Save as" and start from your new copy. It saves you from having to create the report from scratch and it keeps the original "point to" to the original sheet. I do it frequently as I typically target different audiences with report extracts.

Happy to help!
I'd recommend Christopher's suggestion until then.

I do the same thing as Chris. I set it up then save as new. Then I go in and tweak a few of the details depending on exactly who or what is being changed for the report.
I do love your idea though of being able to create a report directly from a sheet.
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:
Hello , I have a group of cells that have been deleted by accident with saved attachments . all bulk deleted from the same sheet. Is there any way to recover them ?
