Wrapping cell text in reports

Kate M

I really wish that I could wrap text in a report without having to do it in the sheet it's pulling from.

I have a sheet that has multiple columns that contain a lot of text that doesn't need to be seen every time someone looks at the sheet. But it would be great to have a report that shows the wrap text version so that when that cell needs to be reviewed it can be easily read. Some of the team members who are not as familiar with Smartsheet don't know you can hover over the text to read the entire cell.

I have the same situation and question. To the community - is this possible?

Hi @Kate M & @Brian Usher

I hope you're well and safe!

What I've done is add a helper column/sheet where it's a wrap version.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,
