Expandable/Collapsible Columns with buttons (not hiding)?

Expand-Collapse Button.PNG

Is there any capability in Smartsheets similar to this excel screenshot where columns are able to be expanded and collapsed in a grouping using a button?

The scenario at hand is supplier contact information being tacked on in several columns at the end of a sheet and it isn't information used on a regular basis but needs to be attached to each row, so collapsing it in a grouping would be helpful to clean up the sheet.

To further simplify the request, simply hiding columns is not effective for us in this scenario and I haven't had much success turning the sheet into a report, and beyond that, would like to use a sheet rather than a report if possible.


Thanks!

Does your company use Single Sing-On? There were some updates that took affect yesterday. I wonder if maybe that is affecting things since it seems to be an issue with being part of the company's account.<\/p>
