Integrating Gaant View Items and Calendar View

I'm having an issue finding a solution for meshing Gaant charts on individual sheets and multi-sheet calendars.

On individual sheets we have "Phase" dates, these are anywhere from a few days to a few months. These are great for the Gaant view.

The group calendar shows all the items from the individual sheets, including these "Phase" ranges. Is there any way to filter out these large Phase ranges from the group calendar? I would like to have the group calendar only show the action items.


The only solution I have found so far is to add in an additional check-box column I labeled "Non-Action Items", and then on the calendar filter out the items that have been checked. This will be a lot of work to edit all the previous sheets, so I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas/suggestions?

Thanks much!

Sierra

    Hi@Sierra Schroder

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or somescreenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too,[email protected])

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,

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":106937,"type":"question","name":"Column shifting","excerpt":"Hi There, Currently, I have set up dynamic drop down in target sheet and the rule is the column index can not change (i.e. stay index 32) However, the column is shifting (i.e. from 32 to 57) but user claims they didn't move or change the column index.
