Should I have a PM Lite Smartsheet? A One Pager?
This time last week, my CIO asked me to look into Smartsheet. One week later I have a beta version of a project template containing 6 sheets, 3 reports, and one dashboard. I was surprised how easy it was to develop a pretty solid solution in such short amount of time. The beta version of my project template should work for…

Grammar/Spell Check Request
Can I request for spell check? This hasn't been an issue (or at least not raised) and I would like to keep it that way. The Chrome browser option isn't so user-friendly; no 1-click scan or doesn't automatically show misspelled words.

IE: In 2015 cost was $1 and in 2016 the cost rose to $2. I would want the 2016 cost to automatically turn Green to show that there was an…
Prevent inheriting formatting from previous row.
I have a sheet where the first row is populated with instructions on how to complete each column (becasue the column title text is so limited - but i digress). That row is formatted in a green color to set it off from the actual data rows. The problem is, when I go to enter data in the next row (2), that row automatically…

I am now wanting to indent rows below a couple new headers: "Commitments" and "Prospective" but as you can see in the screen shot below, the "-" symbol keeps showing up in the column just…
