Which type of program files can be imported into Smartsheet for the creation of a new sheet?

The correct choice for the types of program files that can be imported into Smartsheet to create a new sheet is Excel files. Smartsheet allows users to import data from Microsoft Excel files seamlessly, enabling users to leverage existing data when creating new sheets. This functionality is particularly important for users who have previously been working with data in Excel and want to transition that data into Smartsheet to take advantage of its collaboration and project management features.

Excel files typically contain structured data with rows and columns, making them ideal for mapping into Smartsheet's grid format. When imported, Smartsheet can automatically recognize headers and maintain the formatting of the data, which streamlines the process of setting up a new sheet.

While CSV files can also be imported and are commonly used for data transfer, the question emphasizes program files suitable for creating a new sheet, making Excel the most relevant choice in this context. PDF files are not importable in a manner that would allow for the creation of structured sheets in Smartsheet, and text files do not typically include the necessary structure to easily create a new sheet format. Thus, Excel is the preferred file type for importing to Smartsheet.
