Creating price tickets

edited 12/09/19 inAPI & Developers

Would be grateful for any guidance please. I'm looking for a way of producing sheets of price labels including a barcode that would be generated from a smartsheet. I can get all the relevant data into one smartsheet however I have been struggling to come up with a way of creating a PDF that would contain the price label information and that I can then send to my stores so that they can print out price tickets. I've looked at many different ways of generating barcodes and labels but I'm struggling to find a way of connecting the data that is in smartsheet to a system that will generate the PDF. Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Mike,

    I think I have a way to accomplish this, but unfortunately, i don't have time now to look into it at the moment. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

    Could you please share the sheet or take a screenshot so that I can see your data setup?

    I hope this helps you!

    Best,

    Feel free to contact me about help with Smartsheet, integrations, general workflow advice, or something else entirely.

  • Dear Andree

    Many thanks for your message and I thought that I had responded but there seems to be a general problem with logging into the community. In any case, I'm desperate for any suggestions that you might have please. I don't have a screen grab to give you because I have been trying to check the feasibility of what I need to do before I set up the sheet. However it would be pretty simple. There would be one column with product code, one with retail price, EAN number, et cetera et cetera. Please let me know what thoughts you might have. If you need some remuneration for help then please let me know. Michael

    Hi Andrée & Mile

    I have a similar requirement in that I can capture the data in a smartsheet form but I then need to generate a barcode that can be a) stored automatically in the smartsheet and b) be added to a printable PDF to be used in document gen eration

    I haven't set anything up yet as just writing the high level scope docuemnt for the project but can see this as a requirement down the line and would like to have a solution before others think of the problem :)

    Many thanks

@Neil Watson<\/a> You should be able to use the LOWER function for evaluation but still output the version that includes caps.<\/p>

=IFERROR(INDEX(DISTINCT(LOWER(<\/strong>COLLECT(.....................))<\/strong>), 1), \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/21191/\")<\/p>

I haven't tested it yet, but I feel like it should work.<\/p>"},{"commentID":386435,"body":"

Right. There are already a number of posts here in the community detailing how to pull a distinct or unique list from another sheet via formula. It usually involves the formula above without the LOWER function. The number 1 would output the first distinct value. Changing that to a 2 will output the second distinct value, so on and so forth. I usually use a helper column with the numbers manually entered so I can apply it as a column formula.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":320,"name":"API & Developers","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/api-developers","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":369,"urlcode":"bridge-by-smartsheet","name":"Bridge"}]},{"discussionID":107674,"type":"question","name":"API PUT and Body help for Cell link from a cell in sheet \"a\" to sheet \"b\"","excerpt":"I am having trouble linking a cell from sheet a to b.

This is how I've successfully added a cell-link using the API:<\/p>

Here is the basic process to conditionally format the background of a cell based on its contents. In this scenario, you would need to setup three format options, one for each color\/selection.<\/p>
