Hello, everyone!
Hopefully you are all making easy money out there today. At the moment I am trying to figure out if there is a way to manually adjust the padding of a cell in a cross tab (refer to the image below). I have already unchecked the option to not show the cell margins. I could have sworn that in years past, I have been able to manually add some padding to a cell in a cross tab that has had the cell margins turned off. This could be wishful thinking on my part.
In my example below, I am wanting to add some white space between the value and the cell wall. Is there a way to do this outside of using a formula that adds the space and putting that formula in the crosstab?
I was thinking that I have also used a Row Options > Indent Label function before, but in my current example, selecting that removes all of the columns that are in the rows area of the crosstab. I do not know why it is doing that.

Which version of Crystal are you using?
In Crystal 2008, if I go to the "Customize Style" tab of the Cross Tab Expert, I see options to set the indents for the columns in the bottom "Grid Options" section. -Dell ------------- Proviti, Data & Analytics Practice http://www.protiviti.com/US-en/data-management-advanced-analytics - www.protiviti.com/US-en/data-management-advanced-analytics |

Dell, hello. We are using 2008.
I forgot that was there. For some reason, it does not change anything when I try to use it. However, I have used that before with success. So I am not sure what is happening with my report.
Now that you reminded me that was there, I am thinking that is the only option available to do what I want to do, regardless of whether or not it is currently working for me. Would you agree?
