How To Quickly Import CSV Data Into Smartsheet: Fast Import
Say goodbye to manual data entry and hello to effortless imports!
- •Easily import CSV files directly into your existing Smartsheet without creating new sheets.
- •Choose how your data is integrated – append, replace, or merge based on a primary key column.
- •Speed up your day with smarter shortcuts.
Need to get data from Excel or a CSV into your Smartsheet. Normally, you'd have to create a whole new sheet and copy things over manually. Let me show you a better way. First, download SSFeatures from ssfeatures.com. Open your sheet in Grid view. Click SSFeatures. Click \"Import into this Sheet\". Click \"Choose File\", and select the Excel or CSV file that you want to import. Click \"Next\". Choose how you want to import your data. You have three options. Append adds your data as new rows at the bottom. Merge data finds matching rows and updates them with new values. Replace clears your existing data and imports fresh. Click \"Next\". This page lets you add filters so you only import the rows you need. For example, you could filter to only import records from a specific date range or customer. Click \"Next\". Map the columns from your file to the columns in your sheet. SSFeatures automatically matches columns with the same name, so you usually just need to verify everything looks right. Click \"Next\". Click \"Import\" and SSFeatures will import all of your data. No more copying and pasting row by row. No more creating temporary sheets. Just select your file and import directly into your existing sheet. Try SSFeatures free for 30 days at ssfeatures.com.

Appending New Data - When you receive updated spreadsheets from teammates or clients, import them directly into your existing Smartsheet sheet without creating duplicates.

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."

"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney

"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
