Search/Find Column Titles

Cathy Salscheider

And I just came here to make this request. Sometimes I am just checking if we already have that column in the sheet and, of course, in a big sheet I always miss it the first time I try to find it. I started creating test reports just to see if the column appears in the selection options. Please add this - it would wonderful! thanks

+1 to the OP. Just to add to this — Searching column titles is great but I also think a great addition would be if you could bookmark important columns. I work with a lot of columns and am often looking for a few specific areas that have plenty of columns between them I have to scroll through. Being able to share these bookmarks with other users would be a huge help too.

@Jony Gookins I can think of quite a few ways to use "bookmark" type columns. I would suggest submitting a separate Idea for this one (and send me a link so I can vote on it too please).

It would be nice to have the ability to search for column names. Sometimes a sheet can have up to 100 columns that it takes so long to scroll through each to find the one that I'm looking for.

@melissagxpo looks like Smartsheet has this on the wishlist still, but in the meantime there's an alternative solution available.
