Bulk Delete Many Columns Tutorial in Smartsheet — One-Click
delete more than five columns at once and clean up sheets fast.
- •Select all the columns you want and click "Delete with SSFeatures" to remove them in one step, saving time on sheet cleanup.
- •Bypass Smartsheet's 5-column limit and delete entire ranges or dozens of columns instantly with SSFeatures.
- •Save hours each week on repeat tasks.
Normally Smartsheet does not let you delete more than five columns at once. I'm going to show you how to get around this limitation. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid view. Select all of the columns that you want to delete. Right click one of the columns. Click delete column. Click \"Delete with SSFeatures\". SSFeatures will delete all of the columns for you, even if you selected more than five columns. This saves you a lot of time and effort.
Use Cases
Cleaning Up Old Sheets - When working with sheets that have grown cluttered over time, you can quickly delete dozens of unused columns in one step.
Template Adjustments - If you duplicate a template but don’t need all the original columns, you can remove the extras instantly instead of deleting them one by one.
Large Sheet Management - For complex projects or reports with many columns, you can quickly slim down the sheet to only what’s necessary by deleting multiple columns in bulk.

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."

The developer is incredibly responsive and provides top-notch customer support, making sure everything runs smoothly. It has saved us a ton of time and eliminated a lot of manual work. If you’re looking to get more out of Smartsheet, I highly recommend giving SSFeatures a try!"

So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
