Summary
Some new features are coming to SharePoint online with regards to columns, they are:
Column Totals
Coming in February 2019. Custom views allow you to add calculated fields, such as totals or averages, to the footer of a group or the entire list. Now, totals will display in the modern view without forcing users back to the classic interface. Totals will also show in the modern web parts for lists and libraries.
Sticky Headers
Coming in March 2019. Libraries and lists can get extremely large – up to 30 million items in a single list. Soon, as you scroll down through ever-larger lists, SharePoint keeps the column headers pinned at the top of the scrolling window. This helps you identify list values as you move vertically and horizontally through the view. Column headers will also remain in place inside the list/library web parts.
What does this mean for me?
You’ll automatically receive these updates to SharePoint online during February and March 2019.
