Additionally, you can drag and resize the row height or column width using the mouse.

Best Practices

  • Size of the column or row is specified in pixels.

  • Size applies to the entire row or column and cannot be changed by a cell.

  • Use shortcut keys CTRL or SHIFT to select multiple rows or columns and drag to resize them or use the toolbar menu option.

  • Use double-click to auto-fit the contents.

  • Set the size to 0 to hide a row or column. Use the Default Column(s) Width or Default Row(s) Height options from the Grid list box to reset the size.

  • Maximum size allowed is 999. By default, the row size is 20. The column size varies depending on the content.

  • Select the Show Row Headers or Show Column headers option from the Grid list box to use mouse for adjusting the size.

Limitations

  • Row height adjustments are not supported for header or footer rows.

  • When you drill down on a rollup member, row height adjustments are retained with the row where it was originally applied and does not automatically move with the member on the row.

  • Size cannot be copied from one row or column to another.
