Safe Cross-Sheet Reference Copy Smartsheet
Safe CSR copying.
- •Copy cross-sheet references safely with preview before pasting.
- •SSFeatures checks for issues before creating any references.
- •Take control of your spreadsheets with powerful automation.
Copying cross-sheet references between sheets in Smartsheet is tedious. You have to recreate each reference manually one by one, but there's a faster way. I'm going to show you how to copy and paste all your cross-sheet references at once using SSFeatures. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid View. Right click a cell. Click \"Manage References\". Click \"Copy Cross Sheet References\". Select the references that you want to copy. Click \"OK\". Now open the sheet that you want to paste the references into. Right click a cell. Click \"Manage References\". Click \"Paste Cross Sheet References\". SSFeatures will show you a preview of all of the cross sheet references that it will create. Click \"Paste\". SSFeatures just created all of the cross sheet references. This saves you from manually recreating dozens of references when you're rolling out templates or setting up new sheets. What used to take an hour now takes seconds. Download SSFeatures free at ssfeatures.com.
Use Cases
Rolling Out Templates - When rolling out a template to multiple teams, copy the cross-sheet references from your master template and paste them on each new sheet instead of recreating them by hand.
Department-Specific Sheets - Create department-specific versions of a master sheet with all the same cross-sheet references. Copy once, paste on each department sheet.
Multiple Reports with Same Source - Building multiple reports that pull from the same source data? Copy the references from one report and paste them on the others to ensure consistency.

"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."

So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"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
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"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."
