What other options do we have to format the sheet better, perhaps even in sections?
Merging some cells will help get rid of the lines and make things look better spacing wise.
Hi
My advice would be try not to format a sheet in the way one would in Excel. With Smartsheet there isn't the level of design tools available as in Excel. I advise my delegates to think of Smartsheet more inline with a database table storage rather than a spreadsheet. You set up columns with datatypes, the data needs to be contiguous in order for formulae and functions to work effectively. (i.e. blank lines break automatic formulae autofill and can cause issues in other functions).
Use Dashboards to present the data from the sheets in a more pictoral way if needs be.
Kind regards

How can a feature as basic (perhaps not technically) not be implemented by now?
And why can't I upvote an existing feature request? . need to sort this out if you're going to be taken seriously.
I work at a company that has used the document generation feature for a while to create cover sheets for jobs we're bidding/quoting. It's a super simple PDF that has worked well for a while. Today it stopped working and started populating the fillable PDF with complete nonsense like "e~îÉå]mêáåÅÉíçå" and "MNLOSLOS". I've…

I'm trying to add a file upload to my Smartsheet form, but it is not available (grayed out) in my form elements. How do I fix that?
