What other options do we have to format the sheet better, perhaps even in sections?
Merging some cells will help get rid of the lines and make things look better spacing wise.
Hi
My advice would be try not to format a sheet in the way one would in Excel. With Smartsheet there isn't the level of design tools available as in Excel. I advise my delegates to think of Smartsheet more inline with a database table storage rather than a spreadsheet. You set up columns with datatypes, the data needs to be contiguous in order for formulae and functions to work effectively. (i.e. blank lines break automatic formulae autofill and can cause issues in other functions).
Use Dashboards to present the data from the sheets in a more pictoral way if needs be.
Kind regards

Would that work?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

How can a feature as basic (perhaps not technically) not be implemented by now?
And why can't I upvote an existing feature request? . need to sort this out if you're going to be taken seriously.
Today Mar-18, I've lost all my tasks in gantt view, but they are still visible in card view or grid view. Yesterday i've shared the sheet with the team with view only access. Did anyone have similar issues? and how to resolve this?
I just started using the Table View for lists of contacts. I added a Format Rule that would highlight the entire row (except the Email Address field) if the Email Address cell is "blank". A second rule highlights just the Email Address cell itself in a slightly darker color if Email Address cell is "blank". This gives a…
My manager set up a weekly smartsheets attachment of a sheet to be emailed to them every week. She now wants to turn this off but when her and I go into the Send as Attachment section of the page it only shows that two were sent instead of weekly for the last year or two and there is no way to turn anything off. How do I…
