Gantt View - Limit Columns Shown

craigwaco

Hi,

I'm trying to limit the columns shown in Gantt View.

We have some cells that are reporting info from a link. Sometimes these values are very lengthy. 300 words? The problems is this makes each row very tall in Gantt view, and makes the schedule difficult to read. Hiding these column doesn't help.

Is there a way to remove certain columns from being within the Gantt view itself? I thought there was a 'edit columns' function at one point, but I can't locate it.

Hi Craig,

You could remove or hide the column.

Would that work?

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree,

Not quite. Hiding it doesn't shrink the height of the row. I'm not sure if that's because it's a linked cell or not.

How do you 'Remove' the column? As in delete the column from the file?

Ok.

I think I misread the post. I thought it was a report.

Can you 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)

Andree,

I went to export the file, and I reloaded it from the main directory and the 'hide column' function works now. I assume it had something to do with a cache, or refresh that allowed the row height to adjust.

So I guess the problem took care of itself.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Excellent!

Happy to help!

I have noticed too that sometimes expanding a column so that wrapped text takes up fewer lines or hiding the column does not always resize the row vertically. I generally save and then refresh my browser tab which takes care of it.
