Can I turn off the "Used in formula on" information screen?

Sonny Mendoza

I have linked many sheets so now when I try and select a drop down within a cell I cannot because this "Used in formula on" window hovers over my select options. Is there a way that I can turn this off?

Hi Sonny,

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

Any update on turning off the "Used in formula" information that appears as you move from cell to cell? This really is irritating.

I created the Enhancement Request on 3/27/20 and have not received any additional updates since then. I have not found a way for me to check the status of my request either so not sure where they are on this. I have found that if you hit F2 while in the cell it will remove the hover over but still not a great solution.

We have the same issue and would love to see this enhancement. Thanks

I'd like to chime in on this one. Super irritating those can't be turned off.

Would like this enhancement as well.

This is a real problem for us as well. It actually is making a lot of the work we invested in with Smartsheet development (generating templates) unusable.

Any update on this? This is one of the most irritating features when working with complex sheets.

Agreed, I have to imagine this would be well received by 99% of users.
