Which Smartsheet function allows you to link data from multiple sheets?

The option that accurately indicates the function allowing you to link data from multiple sheets is cross-sheet formulas. This feature enables users to reference cells, ranges, and entire columns from different sheets within the same Smartsheet workspace or even across different workspaces.

By utilizing cross-sheet formulas, you can create dynamic data relationships, perform calculations, and maintain coherent project tracking, drawing in essential information that resides in separate sheets. This capability is crucial for managing complex projects where data is distributed across several sheets, facilitating insightful report generation and streamlined project management.

In contrast, while sheet linking refers to the potential to link entire sheets together for consolidated views, it does not permit individual data reference like cross-sheet formulas do. Data merging tools might suggest a method of combining data from multiple sheets, but they do not provide the flexibility for real-time, formula-based interactions. Join functions are more commonly associated with database operations rather than being a Smartsheet feature for linking or referencing data across sheets.
