Format text and reference cells

Reference cells inline, bold, italicize, list, and hyperlink text on dashboards using Markdown.

Supported Markdown

Markdown	Formatted text
`bold` or `__bold__`	bold
`italics` or `_italics_`	italics
`[hyperlink to a great blog](https://wrap-text.equals.com)`	hyperlink to a great blog

The Markdown to create bulleted and numbered lists is as follows:

- Bullet one
- Bullet two
- Bullet three

1. First list item
2. Second list item
3. Third list item

These would appear like so when viewing a dashboard:

Bulleted List

Numbered List

You can display the contents of a cell inline within a paragraph or heading on a dashboard by wrapping the cell reference in double curly brackets.

Sheet name	Cell	Cell referenced in paragraph
Sheet 1	C3	`{{Sheet 1!C3}}`
Monthly Visitors	D22	`{{Monthly Visitors!D22}}`

Referencing cells inline is useful when you want to construct sentences like:

Last month's Net New ARR was $868,000. It grew up 10% compared to the previous month (05-2024).

In this example, $12,500, 10%, and 05-2024 are all referenced cells dynamically calculated using formulas in a sheet called ARR Build .

Cell	Cell contents	Calculated output	Cell referenced in paragraph
B6	`Net New ARR`	New New ARR	`{{ARR Build!B6}}`
F6	`=SUM(F2:F5)`	$868,000	`{{ARR Build!F6}}`
F7	`=(F6-E6)/E6`	10%	`{{ARR Build!F7}}`
F2	`=EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1)`	05-2024	`{{ARR Build!F2}}`

If you put these all together when writing a sentence in your paragraph, it would appear like this in edit mode:

Last month's {{ARR Build!B6}} was {{ARR Build!F6}}. It grew {{ARR Build!F7}} compared to the previous month {{ARR Build!F2}}.
