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!

Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I already have a Smartsheet license with my company, but I was recently invited to collaborate on a sheet owned by another group within the same organization. When I accepted, I was told I need to upgrade in order to edit or contribute. Can you please explain why this is required? It seems unreasonable to need multiple…
