How do I freeze columns in a report on a dashboard?

MattRuggles · 07/25/18

I'm trying to include a report on a dashboard, but I can't seem to figure out a way to freeze columns when the report is on the dashboard. Is there a way to do this?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hello,

There currently isn't a way to freeze columns in a report widget on a dashboard. When you have a moment, please submit a product enhancement request for this feature to let our Product team know that you'd like to see this in a future version of Smartsheet.

With that being said, you might consider creating multiple reports and narrowing those reports down to a select few columns, then add multiple report widgets to your dashboard as a potential workaround.

Thanks Shaine. I had a feeling that was going to be the only current option. Frustrating thing about that is that when we add a row to one sheet we have to make multiple other adjustments all along the way. Thanks again for your help, and now I know I wasn't missing something - much appreciated.

Hi @Shaine Greenwood , regarding freezing columns in the Dashboard. I see someone asked for this feature in 2018 and you considered to add. Is there any update as per today?

Thanks, Arjana

How is this not an option, still?

I agree with jwilson970216...this has taken too long to become a feature. How can I add this to t he feature request?

seriously, this just made a exec report worthless.

Hello,

Has this feature of being able to freeze columns in a dashboard report been created yet?

Totally agree, why give the option of allowing columns to be frozen in a report, but not allow the same capability via a Dashboard. Makes the dashboard viability so limiting!

An update on when this would be available would be great. K

Checking in April 2022? Is this implemented? We're coming up on 4 years for simple request.

Still not an option in February 2023. A simple yet significant limitation that is driving us to identify a different product.

Not having this option is causing major issues with the use of our dashboard. Is there an update?

Please fix this. We really need to be able to freeze columns on reports.

hey 2024 gang...it's been 6 years!

agoodkeensavage · 04/26/24

Please implement this.
