Options to display all formulas/functions in a sheet
Hi Community,
I am a new user and would like to know if there is a way to view the formulas/functions within a sheet either as an ad hoc toggle on/off feature/shortcut or by leveraging the report builder.
I understand that we could copy the formula/function body as text to a hidden column for reference or reporting. However, the ideal solution would enable a real time view of formulas/functions across one or many sheets.
All questions and feedback are welcome. Thanks!

Hi Stephanie,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Have a fantastic week!

Hi@Andrée Starå- Wondering if there is an update on if this is now possible, as I see this post is back in 2019. I am wanting to see the formula used in a sheet I received and wondering how I can do that.

Same. I have an extensive Smartsheet that I want to create a guide for others in case it would get messed up somehow or I ever go m.i.a. :)

What I did in this case was created a 2nd copy of my sheet and edited that copy so all my formulas in their cells are now text. It was the best work around I could find for now to create a master guide.
