    Hi @jasongerding

    Do you have a smartsheet with column headings in row 1 that you want to make into smartsheet column headings?

    Taking something like this

    If so, you could export the sheet into excel, delete the top row, and re-import, selecting the row you want as the column headings.

    Step-by-step

    File / Export / Export to Microsoft Excel

    Open exported sheet in Excel

    Delete the first row (the smartsheet column names)

    Go back to smartsheet. Click Create (on the right of the screen)/Import/Import Microsoft Excel

    Click on the row that contains your column headers

    HiΒ @jasongerding

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Not sure I follow! Can you elaborate?

    Can you share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
