Clear Column From Smartsheet Formatting — Quick Fix
Clear a column from all conditional formats in seconds.
- •Instantly remove a column from every conditional format so you can delete it without errors.
- •Select one or many columns and SSFeatures will update affected rules and delete any empty rules for you.
- •Save hours each week on repeat tasks.
I'm going to show you how to remove a column from all of your conditional formats in Smartsheet. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid view. Click the SSFeatures button at the top. Hover over \"Conditional Formats\". Click \"Remove Columns from Rules\". Select the columns that you want to remove from your conditional formats. Click \"OK\". SSFeatures will modify all of your conditional formats to remove those columns. This saves you so much time. You don't have to manually dig through and edit all of your conditional formats anymore.
Use Cases
Deleting Unused Columns - When you need to delete a column but it’s tied to conditional formatting rules, SSFeatures removes it from all rules so you can delete the column without error messages.
Simplifying Large Sheets - For sheets with dozens of conditional rules, quickly remove columns without manually editing every rule.
Managing Multiple Sheets - If you maintain templates or duplicate sheets for different teams, use this feature to efficiently update conditional formats across them.

"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."
Ari Diamond

"SSFeatures has been a game-changer for our Smartsheet workflows! It’s super easy to use and adds powerful functionality that makes automation and reporting so much more efficient. 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!"

"Finally found a solution to handle some of the features I have been waiting on for a long time... 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."
