Yeah, its kind of rediculous that Smartsheets doesn't have native pivot tables like every other spreadsheet app on the market. You have to buy an add on to enable pivot tables and from what I understand tell its pretty pricy,
Hello Steven, you would need to ensure that the cadillac model is both in the data sheet and a new row is added to the 'pivot table' and the corresponding formula is set up.
Correct it is not. But it is the best next alternative, and workaround with Smartsheet's current capabilities unless you have the budget for the paid app: www.smartsheet.com/marketplace/premium-apps/pivot-app. If I didn't title the video this way, you wouldn't be able to find this effective solution...
Having to manually add rows to the pivot table takes away a ton of the benefit of a pivot table. Smartsheets taking an L for not having a better solution
Thank you! Your videos are saving me so much time! My company just switched to this program and I am having to become proficient ASAP.
You are so welcome! Thanks for the kind words. Are there any other challenges you are facing or potential video ideas?
Thanks much! Very helpful lesson and I liked how you tied in the dashboard to bring the knowledge into a presentation mode if necessary.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting me know
Wow, great Video!! really saved my time!!
Thanks Krishna, pleased to hear it!
Super useful video! thank you so much for sharing brother!!
Pleased it was helpful!
Great video and helpful
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Dani
what happened if the data source has a new make? do you have to manually have to add that new make in and update the formula? thank you

does this grab each category? What would happen if you added a cadillac model? Thank you!

Hi, Can you please make a video on ISEVEN, and ISODD formulas? Thanks
Hi Dani; how to use them? In Smartsheet specifically?
Sheets are very simple and without ready to use formulas, just the texts.
That's right!
How do we get this data to automatically update on the dashboard as new data is imported?
Hi Jessica. You would need to ensure the 'pivot table' pulls from the sheet where the new data is imported.
How do i creat Pivots when there are multiple values within a column cell and I still need to calculate each value? Not sure if that made sense?
I think I understand. You would need to add those values as separate entities in the 'pivot table' data sheet and run the formula.
that is not a Pivot Table, it is just some summaries added in one table.

why would I manually enter data, Smartsheets cant even come close to excel
Fair point. But I would say Smartsheet has other use cases and benefits despite this draw back. Namely collab features. Multi access etc

Hello. It's not ideal, agreed. There is the pivot app you can use as a premium app, but that does come as an additional cost.
So basically, you can't do a pivot table in Smartsheet
That's right, unfortunately, Steve. This is the best workaround I have come across.
Oh you can, you just have to fork out extra cash for the Pivot addon.
