Add Formatting to Column Headers

I'm voting everywhere I can for this because it's very important to me.

I would like to be able to set column header colors, to see columns that are grouped together more easily.

This would be such a helpful update - It's a common complaint from our senior leaders that they would like the headers to be bolded or different colors. That would be a massive win!

Changing Column Header Format, such as color and font would be a great addition in order to create sheets and reports that align with organizations' branding and styles.

Hello,

It would be really helpful to be able to change the color of the column headers particularly for large spreadsheets. Thanks!

Yes, this would be so helpful!

This would also help to designate usage of columns. For instance, we have a sheet for tracking info that gets added to our website, but there is also info on the sheet that is for internal use only. We have had instances where internal data columns were added to the website by newer employees b/c there is no way to designate beside column descriptions, which are harder to see, or adding text to each header (redundant). It would be great to have variously colored headers to designate usage.

Love to have the column headers be color coded to help guide the end users. Would this be a possibility?

I found multiple posts since 2022 asking for this to be added on to smart sheets with out any luck. :(

@Mrodz I gave up a long time ago on these requests. I don't really see any of them go anywhere which is sad because some of the items seem to be common sense for anyone doing project management and utilizing dashboards for their reporting. Smartsheet started out strong at one point.

color coding columns has been requested by our organization as well. I'm sure I upvoted somewhere.

I want to make columns distinct from each other and group them into categories, which makes it easier to scan/scroll through many columns quickly. One way of achieving this is allowing column headers to be different colors.

The ability to center report headers in the Dashboard Report Widget is desperately needed! Moving from PowerPoint/Excel to Smartsheet dashboard for project presentation is tough when people expect minor things like data presentation to be similar to what they have been seeing in these two products. All content within the widget should be able to be centered (so centering all content in the source report including the report headers to show in a unified fashion on the dashboard).

Thank you! 😃
