Passing values from a report

I'm trying to create a Sight that shows a high-level overview of a portfolio of projects. If the user clicks in the widget within the Sight I'd like them to go to a more detailed report on the project that they selected but only the project they selected - not all the projects in the sheet. Is this possible? Thinking of looking at using a filter on the report but not certain how to grab the value that was clicked on.

    Hello,

    You will want to use themetric widgetto display the report values.

    TheMetricwidget allows you to display content from one or more cells in a sheet. After selecting this widget type, clickAdd datato choose the sheet and cells that contain the data you'd like to display and then clickOK.

    注意:如果你想显示我的数据n a grid format, you'll need to first create a report and use theReport widgettype.

    Once you've chosen the data to display, clickEdit Interaction (interaction is what happens when you click the widget ) and chooseOpen the source sheetoption. This will allow users to click on the widget and be brought to the detailed report. Please note that you will want to share the report and its source sheets for the user to be able to view the while sheet.

    Kind Regards,

    Pam

    Hello,

    I found that if I add a hyperlink to a project/report/sheet in a report, and add that report to a sight, people can follow the link to the underlying project/report/sheet hyperlinked from the report.

    Hope it helps

I haven't seen this possible without the use of a 3rd party integration. I don't believe it is supported natively in Smartsheet. The question comes up all the time though. <\/p>
