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

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.
Hello community, I need help figuring out how to set up a sheet to collect monthly comments on several projects. Each project is assigned to a different person who need to provide monthly feedback on its progress. Ideally, I would like them to receive a reminder notification on the report due date, followed by reminders if…
Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
