Open sheet to specific column

Hi All!

We have a smartsheet that has 300+ columns. Users would like to have their sheet open to the last column they edited OR to a specific column. Either would work, but ideally opening to the last column edited is best because this sheet is basically a weekly time sheet. But like I said, either option would work.

TIA!

    Hi @Julie Fleming

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

    Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

    Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

    • Search something to jump in the sheet
    • Hide the other columns that are in the past
    • Create a report and use that instead

    Would any of those options work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,

    Hi @Julie Fleming

    Hope you are fine, i think it's better to use a report to update this sheet and in this report, you can show only the required columns you need to update

    This isn't exactly what you're looking for but it still might be helpful.

    With SSFeatures, you can open this popup then click the column that you want to jump to. This will save you the headache of having to scroll through a bunch of columns to find the one that you're looking for.

    This is how you can open this popup:
