I'm going to show you how to copy and paste columns in Smartsheet. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid view. Select all of the columns that you want to copy. Right click one of the columns. Click \"Copy Columns\". Right click one of the columns again. Click \"Paste Columns\". SSFeatures will paste all of the columns for you. You can also paste columns between sheets. Open up the sheet that you want to paste into. Right click a column. Click \"Paste Columns\". This saves you a lot of time compared to doing this all by hand.
Use Cases
Reusing Columns Across Projects - When creating a new project sheet, quickly copy standard columns like Status, Owner, or Due Date from an existing sheet instead of recreating them.
Duplicating Complex Columns - If a column has formulas, dropdown options, or detailed formatting, you can duplicate it instantly rather than manually rebuilding it.
Cross-Region Sheets - Easily copy and paste columns between Smartsheet regions (NA, EU, AU) to keep workflows consistent across global teams.

"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."
