Increase the number of columns
Right now, tables have a limit of 5 columns. It would be nice to increase this limit. I use a spreadsheet for budget submission and finance reports (follow-ups). I would like the applicant to directly input their itemized budget in their application, share that budget in the follow-ups, and add columns for them to report actual line-item expenses. Right now, my itemized budget worksheet has 8 columns and my financial report has 13 columns. Also, once they have submitted their budget, I would like to lock those columns in that they've inputted data and only give them access to report their actual expenses.
I've uploaded my budget and financial report worksheets so you can get a better idea of what I envision.
I would like to do other things with tables, but I am limited by the number of columns available.

I strongly support this idea. We have a significant number of multi-year term grants. For accountability with the grantee, as well as management by internal finance team and program managers, the ability to view the approved budget information, with the reporting periods across the duration would be efficient, increase productivity of the team, and help reinforce the grantee's accountability of the information. Thank you for your consideration.
