Build metric widgets

With the metric widget, you can display content from one or more cells in a sheet.

Who can use this?

Find out if this capability is included in Smartsheet Regions or Smartsheet Gov.

After selecting the metric widget type, select Add Data to choose the sheet and cells containing the data you'd like to display.

You have the option of selecting either Grid data or Sheet Summary data as the data source:

If you chose Grid data, select the cells you would like to display in the metric widget and select OK.
If you selected Sheet Summary data, check the boxes of the sheet summary fields you would like to display and select OK.
If you want to display the data in a grid format, you need to first create a report and use the Report widget type.
If you want to display new fields as they’re added to or deleted from the source sheet, then you need to manually add or remove them from the metric widget as well.
