I have a report that I update each week. the "When" section has 7 or 8 lines where the between dates need to be updated. Is there a way to automate this or does it really have to be done manually?
Thanks for your input!

Hi Jennie,
It might be possible to add the criteria as a formula on the sheet(s) instead or set up the report builder in another way.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
Have a fantastic week!

You can add a column to the sheet that is a checkbox that will allow you to have it check when it meets a certain requirement. This can be set to find a date range from today if needed. Then your report builder you change to show the rows when that column is checked.
As Andrée mentioned, screenshots or screen recording might help show exactly what you are looking for.
The project has 9 phases. When the "Actual delivery date" cell is populated for each phase, and that date falls into a certain range (the current week) I need it to go onto a report. Each Monday, I have to go into report builder and advance the 9 sets of dates in the "when" column.
I can't send a screenshot
Thanks for your help!

Would that work?
Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
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…
