is there the ability to colour in a column not a row to show for example UK bank holidays or staff holidays etc.. to show in a very quick visual way any clashes that might be avoided.
Hi,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Have a fantastic week!

You could use conditional formatting to format just the field in the column you're searching for rather than applying it to the whole row. If the fields in that column match your criteria, it would essentially color the whole row. You can also manually color in the row by highlighting the entire column and changing the color of the background.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I read your question wrong and that you meant the Column Titles.
Mike is right, and I often use conditional formatting in my solutions to color whole columns and rows to make it easier to keep the design as intended.

The conditional formatting doesn't even have to apply to the column that is being used for the criteria. You could set it to highlight only the cells in column B where the corresponding cells in column A contain a certain value.
Exactly, I sometimes use it to format multiple months or values in that way.
Works great!

I need help to fix this, and it seems Smartsheet is really lacking this recovery feature for everything I'm reading and checking online. Any help or…
Has anyone figured out a way to use a column as a created date but not have the time stamp? It causes problems for my manager trying to use that date to pull into PBI. I know how to convert in a helper column to a year-month and a year, but those have to be text/number columns, not date columns and he can't use those…
I am looking for a way to automate a cell so that when column A displays 9 'Days Open' (or between the values 0-14) the 'Req Age' will auto populate (or trigger) the ranges provided. Image below: I want the highlighted section to auto populate based on the value in 'Days Open'
