Rotate Text?
Can titles of columns be rotated so more can be squeezed into view?

Travis EmployeeColumn headers cannot be rotated as Craig mentioned but I will pass this suggestion along to our Product team for consideration in future development!

Hi,
Has this suggestion had any more consideration from the Smartsheet team yet as this is something I would really like to use also.
Many thanks,
Irene

Thiswebsitefrom smartsheet provides images with rotated text, but when you download the template they do not look like the template.
Did smartsheet use a different program to make the images?
Is it now possible to rotate text? If so, how?

John,
Non-Smartsheet employee here. I don't know how old that page is. It looks old.
The second section is titled "Product Roadmap Templates for Excel", and are indeed Excel files when downloaded.The other give-away is that there appears to be merged cells.
Smartsheet still can not do either of these.
If you can get away without the merged cells (and in my Excel experience, they go hand in hand), then you could try images.
See attached.

Craig,
Great idea with images, I'll have to give that a try but probably just design the sheet to read differently.

This would be very helpful to be able to rotate text for column headers
-
Please add vertical text optionin header column to the team's "to do" list.
Thanks all!

Need rotated text column headers. It's hard to believe this has not been implemented yet.

anonyth ✭+1 feature request for rotating text in headers.

Would like to be able to rotate text for column headers in smartsheet. Anyone know how to do this?
Would also be nice to have a row of header information.
-
Guys can you PLEASE implement rotate text 90, 180 degree feature and also vertical text. This was requested nearly 3 years ago.

Please add my vote as well for vertical headers

Bump for vertical headers. Please add this as a feature soon.

Users should have the ability to format column headers. Smartsheet should create features to customize and format reports that can be exported to PDF.
Printed reports still have great value.

Hi Candace,<\/p>
The answer is YES. You can use \"Send as Attachment\" feature in the File menu of your sheet to setup the schedule for your need. You should be a licensed user to use this feature as well (I remembered that). <\/p>
Hope this works for you.<\/p>
