Is there a way to auto-hide columns based on the value selected from a drop down cell?

Nikki Hopper

I have a main grid with several columns and a webform that feeds into that grid. This tracker is used by my team to track several job "types" defined in one of the destination grid columns as "Large Project", Medium Project" and "Small Project". Each distinction has its own requirements, thus making a few of the existing columns non-applicable based on the type chosen from the dropdown.

Is there a way in SmartSheet to auto-hide non-essential columns? If so, where is that defined?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nikki,

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

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround you could use the premium add-on, Dynamic View. Is that an option?

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!
