Report vertically versus horizontal

I'm setting up a new tracking sheet which will have multiple columns (about 50). For ease of displaying these to end users, I would like to 'report' them vertically. Is that possible in SmartSheets? FYI, the reason for now setting up vertically is to preserve field format (date versus text).

For Example:

Currently displays as:

Column 1, Column 2, Column 3

Row 1 Field 1, Row 1 Field 2, Row 1 Field 3

Row 2 Field 1, Row 2 Field 2, Row 2 Field 3

Desired Report Result:

Column 1, Row 1 Field 1, Row 2 Field 1, Row 3 Field 1...

Column 2, Row 2 Field 1, Row 2 Field 2, Row 3 Field 3...

Column 3, Field 3 Field 1, Row 3 Field 2, Row 3 Field 3...

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

A possible workaround could be to transpose the information in another sheet and report on that.

Would that work?

How many rows and columns will there be approximate?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Folder Level Sharing
Circling back to this….. Another year goes by and still no folder level sharing. Smartsheet developers don't listen to their clients.

Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful.
