Which type of report can be generated within Smartsheet to summarize data from multiple sheets?

The ability to generate a cross-sheet report within Smartsheet allows users to create a comprehensive overview that aggregates and summarizes data from multiple sheets. This report type is particularly valuable for users who manage projects across various teams or departments, as it enables them to pull in relevant information from different sources into a single report. By leveraging cross-sheet reporting, users can analyze data trends, track performance across multiple sheets, and ensure that they have a holistic view of all relevant metrics without having to manually compile information from each individual sheet.

Other types of reports, such as activity reports, summary reports, and collaboration reports, serve specific purposes, but they do not inherently allow for the integration of data from multiple sheets in the same way a cross-sheet report does. Activity reports focus on tracking changes and updates within a single sheet, while summary reports typically provide a high-level overview of a single sheet's data. Collaboration reports emphasize the aspects of teamwork and project contributions, but none of these alternatives can pull and summarize data from various sheets as effectively as a cross-sheet report can.
