Smartsheet Workspace to excel using the connector
Before upgrading to the next tier (where the connector exists), I want to make sure what I want to do is possible.
Can the connector pass an entire workspace to Excel, rather than individual files.
There is a workspace that contains many gantt chart files and an easy to view row summary of each chart is wanted such that it updates itself. Each new project spawns a new gantt chart file so individual referencing is still too much work.
I know that this is only possible in Smartsheet using manual referencing of the desired column for each cell so I want to send the data to excel to be modified and viewed.
Does the connector allow this behaviour?

Shaine Greenwood EmployeeHello,
The Live Data Connector (ODBC driver) will push data to excel on a cell-by-cell basis.
Since Excel doesn't have Gantt chart functionality, the Gantt portion of a sheet in Smartsheet can't be displayed in Excel—you'll want to use a different application that is compatible with the ODBC driver (such as MS Project).
More on how the Live Data Connector works with Smartsheet is available here://www.santa-greenland.com/apps/smartsheet-odbc

Hi @Matthew LeMasonry<\/a> <\/p> No, it currently isn't possible to share the Data Shuttle workflow configuration with another account. The set-up for that workflow is associated with one account. (Please let our Product team know of your feature request by filling in this form, here!)<\/a><\/p> That said, many team members will be able to trigger<\/em> that workflow, depending on what that trigger is. For example, if the workflow is based on an attachment, any user can upload the attachment for the workflow. Does that make sense?<\/p> If you are looking to transfer workflows because a user has left the organization, you could potentially update the Primary email address associated with the account that owns the configurations. This will allow you to gain access to the Data Shuttle workflows from the new email. Keep in mind this would need to be an email that does not currently have a Smartsheet account.
