Hi Everyone, Is there such a thing as an "if" statement then link cells?
If cell has check mark link these cells to a different sheet.
The only way I am aware of is to write an IF statement in the "different sheet". Unfortunately that would require setting up a new range for each cell and writing the individualized IF statement for each one as well.
=IF({Sheet 1 Checkbox Cell Range 1} = 1, {Sheet 1 Data Cell Range 1})
For the Checkbox Cell Range 1 you would "Reference Another Sheet" and select the checkbox in that specific row.
Data Cell Range 1 would be the data cell in the same row as the Checkbox.
Because you are referencing another sheet you will have to rewrite the IF statement in the row below it, referencing the first sheet and selecting new ranges (Checkbox and Data for the next row down) for each row on the target sheet ("different sheet").
The limitation with that is you can only have 100 unique sheet references per sheet. Since you already have 2 for each row, that would limit you to being able to pull data from only 50 cells.
If you are using this on a small scale project, it may not be too terribly tedious, but it could be rather excruciating in larger projects.
Hope this helps...
Paul, can the values be set in a row on the linking sheet and referenced as variables in the IF statement? This would prevent having to write each IF statement individually.

Possibly. It would depend on exactly what you want and whether or not that type of format would work for your particular project.
If you are able to provide some specifics and some screenshots, we might be able to help you out a little better.
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.
I have reproduced the following behavior in a validated Smartsheet application. User permission: Editor (not Admin) Row status: Locked (confirmed via row menu displaying "Unlock Row") Text, Date, Contact List, and Checkbox columns cannot be modified. Dropdown List columns remain editable. Selecting a new dropdown value and…
