Text overflow (horizontally)

Dan Engerer

Hi. How do I make text overflow horizontally? I want to add a nice looking title to a spreadsheet, etc. and currently the only wrap is vertically. This would seem to be a super basic functionality yet it seems that Smartsheet can't do it? To be honest, it will be really disappointing if this is not possible.

It sounds like you are looking for  a feature similar to "Merge Cells." Smartsheet does not currently support a feature like this for sheets in grid view.

Depending on your ultimate goal (for example, if you're sharing the sheet data with a group of people and want to highlight a collection of columns under a heading), you might consider creating a dashboard or portal to share the information. In a dashboard, you can include a title widget which will allow you to label the sheet data under one heading. 

Create or Edit a Smartsheet Dashboard or Portal

Please do take a moment to let our development team know about your desire for a merge cells feature.

Thanks!
