Permanently Delete 100 Columns Guide in Smartsheet Save Time

Delete 100 columns at once without extra clicks.
  • Select 100 columns and use SSFeatures to permanently delete them with one click, saving you the time of repeating small deletions.
  • Bypass Smartsheet's five-column limit — SSFeatures adds a Delete with SSFeatures button that removes all selected columns instantly.
  • 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."

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.

"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."
