Renaming Columns

Donna Stuart

I created a smartsheet using the Sales Pipeline template. I named the column, but now I need to rename it. I right-clicked on the column header, deleted the 4 words that I don't need (leaving the words that I do) and I get a message that says "Column Name is already in use in this sheet". The remaining words don't appear anywhere else in the sheet. Why am I unable to rename the column?

Hi @Donna Stuart

Is it possible that there is a hidden column with the same name? (See here for information on hidden columns).

Are you able to rename it to something else, or does this happen with every possible name?

If there is no hidden column, it would be helpful to see a screen capture of your sheet (but block out any sensitive data).

Thanks!
