AFAIK, you can't dynamically change the column width in a cross-tab.

Yes.  However, you won't be able to easily synch up that column with data in the cross-tab if that's what you're thinking about doing.

Actually all the fields are displaying correctly but only address column which contains more data displaying less data in CR..
Do you have any solution on it,How can i show that columns data????

Unfortunately, the Cross-Tab component doesn't give you many options for formatting the fields internally.  So you're only option is to make the address field as wide as you think it needs to be at its widest.
 
Is there a particular reason why you need to use a cross-tab?  Depending on what you're trying to do, there may be a way to display what you're looking for without the cross-tab.

You can create what some folks refer to as a "manual cross-tab".  This is a table in your report that looks like a cross-tab but is really just the fields put on the report as if it were a "regular" report.  Using the group header and footer fields with summaries for aggregation, depending on what the columns are for your cross-tab this can be either simple or difficult.
Can you give me a general description of what data you're reporting on?

I am fetching lots of data in the report, and in the report.There are some columns which shows record from one column of database as data inserted into that column through XML and i am fetching it through xml. In that column my data is present(ie Address field).I want to show the width of that address field varying as per the data.But cross tab is not allowing to do that.Now i m trying it in another way..through datatable,by taking that address field as individual table,separating it from other datatables..hope this will work...
