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!

Hello to all the community, my team is experiencing an issue with the notifications in Smartsheet. In the last hour the notifications started including only the placeholders of the columns, instead of the content of the related cell. I checked with the support and this could be related to changes in the workflow or in the…
I have never seen this before. I have an automation to send out an email and i have some placeholders. e.x. {{Ticket ID}} so would show {{10}}. When the email sends it doesn't send 10 but instead {{c:3029598009636}}. I made sure the Info inside the placeholder is correctly spelled and looking at capitalization is the same.…
