Is there any way to select an entire sheet for formatting? Thanks!

    Selelct the top line, hold down control, select the bottommost line. Format the entire thing in one swipe. Or if you are only formatting a single column, use the formatt painter.

    For me when I select the first row then hold shift and select the last row it will highlight all rows in between.

    Easy enough answer to the question I also had:)Does anyone know if Smartsheet is planning to allow "ctrl + A" to select all cells in the future? When you have 500+ rows, scrolling to select the last row isn't ideal....I did find it also works if you select the first column + shift and last column.

    Hi!

    Found that you can do command + Shift + arrow key down and select everything.

    Shift + Click on rows/columns to select the whole sheet works, but is very cumbersome and annoying IMO.

    Smartsheet should really add a method to select all cells such as:

    • Ctr + A
    • Click on very top left of grid (as in excel or gDocs)
    • Any other method to select the entire sheet.

I understand. Unfortunately, there is no other option that I see. One thing to make it easier for you to add the name is to have a helper column in the source sheet with a formula to identify duplicates. If there is a record with no duplicate (i.e., a new name added), you can get notified through a workflow and use that to add the name to your metric sheet.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","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":[]},{"discussionID":106984,"type":"question","name":"Using Countif to count Often and Very Often,","excerpt":"however I can't get it to work the Often is also counting the Very Often: =COUNTIF([Tools & Resources (SE-2)]8:[Tools & Resources (SE-2)]12, HAS(\"Often\", @cell), NOT(HAS(\"Very\", @cell)))","snippet":"however I can't get it to work the Often is also counting the Very Often: =COUNTIF([Tools & Resources (SE-2)]8:[Tools & Resources (SE-2)]12, HAS(\"Often\", @cell), NOT(HAS(\"Very\",…","categoryID":322,"dateInserted":"2023-06-27T22:21:22+00:00","dateUpdated":"2023-06-27T22:25:38+00:00","dateLastComment":"2023-06-27T22:37:19+00:00","insertUserID":13941,"insertUser":{"userID":13941,"name":"steinkj","title":"","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/steinkj","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/drupal_profile\/files\/2017-04\/84\/c0\/n84c060f2d4e16db2de757af80ad4cdca.png","dateLastActive":"2023-06-27T22:35:42+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭"},"updateUserID":13941,"lastUserID":13941,"lastUser":{"userID":13941,"name":"steinkj","title":"","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/steinkj","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/drupal_profile\/files\/2017-04\/84\/c0\/n84c060f2d4e16db2de757af80ad4cdca.png","dateLastActive":"2023-06-27T22:35:42+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":2,"countViews":24,"score":null,"hot":3375811121,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/106984\/using-countif-to-count-often-and-very-often","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/106984\/using-countif-to-count-often-and-very-often","format":"Rich","lastPost":{"discussionID":106984,"commentID":382723,"name":"Re: Using Countif to count Often and Very Often,","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/382723#Comment_382723","dateInserted":"2023-06-27T22:37:19+00:00","insertUserID":13941,"insertUser":{"userID":13941,"name":"steinkj","title":"","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/steinkj","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/drupal_profile\/files\/2017-04\/84\/c0\/n84c060f2d4e16db2de757af80ad4cdca.png","dateLastActive":"2023-06-27T22:35:42+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-06-28T09:04:26+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-06-27T22:35:14+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":382720,"body":"

Hi @Christiana Gkini<\/a>,<\/p>

If the format of the entries is consistent then you can use a formula similar to this:<\/p>

=LEFT([Column to check]@row, (FIND(\"request\", [Column to check]@row) - 2))<\/p>

Example:<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"image.png\"<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Obviously you will probably need to change the \"Column to check\" in the formula, but this should be straightforward enough.<\/p>

Hope this helps; any questions or issues then just post! 😊<\/span><\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","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":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&siteSectionID=0&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending Posts","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">

  • Orderable Charts

    Good morning, I've done several searches here but now I'm going in circles. I have a sheet with records of usage of certain scripts we have. Each row has the user name, the script they used and the time they saved by using each script. My goal is to create a dashboard with two bar charts: user name vs total time savings…
