Hello Everyone

I am in the process of creating a budget sheet in smartsheet. I need to have a total monthly amounts transfer from google sheets to one cell in smartsheet. Also, when data is updated in google sheets also will update in smartsheets.

Try to get a link for one cell but I can't find a way to do this.

Any ideas?

    This is not possible. You can creat a hyperlink to a google sheet but not the otherday. The hyper link is what it sats and takes you to the google sheet it will not transver data over the link into or from a cell.

    Linking cells in Smartsheet is only available between smartsheets.

    You need to use the Smartsheet API to be able to do wjat you are asking.

    I believe ther is an App, called Zapier that may help with this functionality.

Here's another option:<\/p>

In your sheet, create a third section that adds the results of the first two. It would have the same rows, but the formula for each row would add the cells of section 1 + section 2.<\/p>

Add a helper column called ShowInReport as a Check Box and check all the rows in the third section. <\/p>

Create a report and tell it to show you only Section 3 (where the ShowInReport is true.<\/p>

I hope that makes sense.<\/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":[]},{"discussionID":108888,"type":"question","name":"Is it possible to URL-Query an embedded form?","excerpt":"I am wondering if it is possible to prefill an embedded form on a dashboard by referencing the form in the dashboard URL?","snippet":"I am wondering if it is possible to prefill an embedded form on a dashboard by referencing the form in the dashboard URL?","categoryID":321,"dateInserted":"2023-08-13T01:16:42+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","insertUserID":161632,"insertUser":{"userID":161632,"name":"SteyJ","title":"Jacob Stey","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/SteyJ","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!5Zjq-V_rc4o!zmkrczO71bo!6kwXWfi9FUH","dateLastActive":"2023-08-13T22:08:19+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":8888,"lastUser":{"userID":8888,"name":"Andrée Starå","title":"Smartsheet Expert Consultant & Partner | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Andr%C3%A9e%20Star%C3%A5","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/0PAU3GBYQLBT\/nXWM7QXGD6464.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-13T23:49:27+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":1,"countViews":29,"score":null,"hot":3383814580,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108888\/is-it-possible-to-url-query-an-embedded-form","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108888\/is-it-possible-to-url-query-an-embedded-form","format":"Rich","tagIDs":[204,254,292,530],"lastPost":{"discussionID":108888,"commentID":390381,"name":"Re: Is it possible to URL-Query an embedded form?","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/390381#Comment_390381","dateInserted":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","insertUserID":8888,"insertUser":{"userID":8888,"name":"Andrée Starå","title":"Smartsheet Expert Consultant & Partner | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Andr%C3%A9e%20Star%C3%A5","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/0PAU3GBYQLBT\/nXWM7QXGD6464.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-13T23:49:27+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-08-13T15:45:48+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":390381,"body":"

Hi,<\/p>

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now (if you mean that the Query should be included in the URL to Dashboard, it's only possible in the URL to the form), but it's an excellent idea!<\/p>

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea <\/strong>(If it hasn't been added already)<\/em><\/strong> when you have a moment.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

How would you like to use it? What's the use case?<\/p>

I hope that helps!<\/p>

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!<\/p>

Best,<\/p>
