Pivot Help

I have a sheet with a hierarchy broken down by region and country. Under each country is the name of a worker. I'm trying to create a pivot to count the number of workers per region and per county. I've tried is so many different ways and cannot figure out what to select for the rows, columns and values.

Thanks!

Hi@Nathan Umbriac

In my experience, the Pivot App doesn't work super well with Hierarchy, but you might be able to get a work-around by adding a helper column or two to help group items within the pivot.

Alternatively, if you're able to change the sheet structure to remove hierarchy and build a flat table, you might be able to use the new group and summary functions within Smartsheet's reports and avoid the pivot-app altogether.

Hi @Matthew Drake<\/a> <\/p>

There currently isn't a way to overlay an Outlook Calendar on top of a Smartsheet Calendar; you can do the reverse, publish dates from Smartsheet into Outlook.<\/a><\/p>

Hi @Emmy Anderson<\/a> <\/p>

You are not missing anything. This is how DV works with dropdowns unfortunately. My work around in the past is to create an other option in the drop down, user chooses save. Then have logic built for a text field that appears so the user can input the values not present in dropdown. <\/p>

You are more than welcome!<\/p>

Glad to hear that it worked for your present use-case. <\/p>
