Resizing Rows and Columns in Views

Topics:

• Configuring for Resizing in Views

• Resizing in Views

You can resize the row and column edges of table, pivot table, and advanced trellis views. For example, you can resize the Time column in a table of results of the Brand Revenue analysis.

Note that the resizing of rows and columns:

• Is not persisted if you resize rows and columns interactively. If you leave a table, then display it again, the interactive resizing is lost. If you set columns widths using properties, those widths are persisted.

• Is ignored if you export the view to PDF.

Configuring for Resizing in Views

You must configure views to use scrolling as the method for browsing data before resizing can occur.

To configure a table, pivot table, or trellis view to use scrolling:

1. On the view's toolbar, click View Properties.

2. Select Fixed headers with scrolling content in the properties dialog.

3. Click OK. The scroll bar is displayed on the view, and rows and columns can be resized.
