Automatically transfer data entered in one sheet to other sheets.
Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a master sheet, then once a row is added to this sheet, the same row (With only specific columns) could be automatically added to another sheet(s) ?
Your help is Highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Hamza

You can have a report automatically update the information it provides from any sheet. So in this view, if you have a sheet with a report and you add a column to the sheet, the report will reflect it.
Unfortunately, as far as I know sheets are not connected to each other in this way. The best that I can suggest is to create a template of an existing sheet that allows you to keep formatting and column information. I hope this helps, and anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong!

You might be able to accomplished this usingZapier.

You use zapier for this a lot, Craig..? Triggered how? Zapier has very limited options for triggers.

CDKashork ✭✭Anything new on this question? I have tried Zapier and I think my request is too complicated or I don't have the right version of Zapier. When will Smartsheet be adding this feature internally. Frustrated...

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>
I can't see any rows in your screenshot that should be colored differently. Parent rows can't be changed.<\/p>
Can you share more screenshots with the conditional formatting options used on a few child rows?<\/strong> (Delete\/replace any confidential\/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. <\/p> I hope that helps!<\/p> Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!<\/p> Best,<\/p> Andrée Starå<\/strong><\/a> | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD<\/strong><\/a><\/p> ✅Did my post(s) help or answer your question or solve your problem?
