Hello,

I am brand new to Smartsheet and this form. I have tried to search answers to my question but didn't find it. I am trying to create a bar chart in a dashboard using cells that are not next to each other. Is there anyway I can create a bar chart from, for example, row 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and col 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6....

    Unfortunately the data for creating charts in a dashboard must be in consecutive columns and rows.


    I would suggest putting in an enhancement request as I know that you are not the only one looking for this functionality

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. See: Admin Center: Add, Edit, and Delete Individual Users with User Management<\/a><\/p>

Cheers,<\/p>

Hey @Macorne<\/a> <\/p>

I checked in with our Support team and they confirmed that two other users had reported a similar behaviour as well. Thank you for your patience and persistence as we looked into this!<\/p>

We've since had confirmation that there has been a fix in the Print behaviour for the Calendar app as of this weekend. Please try again and let us know if this has now been resolved for you. <\/p>

Cheers,<\/p>
