Use a blank "Column Name"?

Is there a way to leave the "column name" blank for a Smartsheet column? Or, alternatively, input a blank placeholder (character or otherwise)?

Why? I don't want any words, spaces, symbols showing up in the Smartsheet Calendar app from this "column name" but I do want the data within the column to show up on the Smartsheet Calendar.

Thanks in advance if you have a solution to this!

Hi @David Brandt

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to have it empty/show empty!

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

To create an invisible character using the alt key in Windows:

Press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard.
While holding Alt, type the numerical code 0173 on the numeric keypad.

Use that for the column title

Thanks Manin. I could not get this to work. I believe that you have to invoke an asci or hex symbol in a program like MS Word and any blank symbol can't be captured into a column in Smartsheet. Please show me if you've managed to do this.
