We create a detailed Gantt chart for each project we are working internally. I'd like to roll up that data to a higher view where I can see where we stand with each project on a single Gantt chart. Is this possible?
Hi,
Yes, either with a report or thru cell linking to another sheet.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic week!

I tried to do this as well, but never landed on a super clean outcome.
The struggle is that any "New" project that you create is not automatically included in your preexisting "Roll-up" view. You would have to manually add any new projects to the cell linking each time a new one was created.
I'm currently working on a possible solution by using the "Reports" tool, but it still requires a small bit of manual hand holding. I am putting all of my active projects into a single directory in Smartsheet. Then each time I want to roll all of the active projects into a single report, I have to manually update the "Where?" selection by unselecting then reselecting the entire folder where the active projects are stored. This picks up any newly added projects. Then the results can be displayed in the report, which I have set to show as a Gantt View.
If this sounds like a feasible solution for you, I can attempt to provide more specific details. The main trick is to organize whatever projects you want to be included into a single directory in Smartsheet. Then you can move them out of that folder (but not a subdirectory of the same folder) once you no longer want them to be included.
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.
Please assist me, I am having trouble with my smartsheet, I am on a paid pro plan, with 5 paid members, but neither I or my members can access or edit sheets. When I try to share the sheet, it says that I only have viewer access. My team members cant access the sheets at all. I renewed my subscription recently and it seems…
