How to set equal column width?

In one report I have 5 tables with different number of rows etc. Is there any possibility or way to make columns inside of it equal? Problem is when report is being exported to .XLS file there are columns which are not visible or sometimes they are merged.
Is there any quick way to avoid it or they only way is to sit in front of SSRS report few hours and somehow manage to set it manually praying that it will be good?

Hi glaeran,
The Excel renderer is primarily a layout renderer. Its goal is to replicate the layout of the rendered report as closely as possibly in an Excel worksheet and consequently cells might be merged in the worksheet to preserve the report layout. As per my understanding,
this behavior is currently by design. For more information about it, please refer to the link below to see merge cells section:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255234.aspx
To avoid the merged cells, if we want to display multiple tables horizontally, the rows of the two tables must be aligned horizontally strictly. If we want to display multiple tables vertically, then the columns of the tables must be aligned vertically strictly.
The following thread about the similar issue is for your reference:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/7fbb3d31-fc1b-4c9b-8a7d-afc76cbb0291/ssrs-2012-report-export-to-excel-and-sort-thje-data-on-excel-spreadsheet?forum=sqlreportingservices
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

Well I do realise the point of "avoiding merged cells" however the points was to find a simply way to avoid it not just a summary "why SSRS report is behaving this way not another". Hoped that there's somekind of solution for my problem since in one report
as it was said I had to put 5 different tables and every time the report itself is exported to XLS file.. So I thought that maybe it's possible to set same align of cells using table/column/cell properties or whatever so I won't have to spend whole day trying
to match align of 5 tables column by column.. :)

How to set initial column widths for a table

What I'd like to do is to control the initial column widths for a table.
I'm building the table by using a class which extends AbstractTableModel. This class takes care of setting the headers and reading the data for the table.
If I do the following:
VarTableModel vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
I will see a table in my window. The widths of the columns are equal and are a function of the horizontal dimension of the window.
I have tried to set the width of a column by doing the following:
TableColumn aColumn;
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
But this has no effect on what gets displayed. I can force the widths that I want by using 'setMaxWidth' but this has the unfortunate side effect of not allowing the user to make the column wider if they want.
What I'd like is a way to specify the widths of the columns when initially displayed and then let the user adjust to their liking.
I'm sure that there is a way to do this, but I don't seem to understand where to intervene in the process to produce the effect that I want.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
add this line and try ur codeThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the trick. Here is an abbreviated segment of my code:
vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
// we want a horizontal scrollbar, so turn resizing off
// and we want to control column widths
jt.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
. // same kind of thing for each column
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(4));
aColumn.setWidth(400);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
If I do the above, the table gets displayed with each of the five columns the exact same width. So, the sizing of the columns is happening somewhere else despite turning auto resizing off.
Where is that occurring and how can I intervene so that I can control the widths of the columns on initial display and still allow the user to adjust the widths if they so choose?

How to set the column width of JTable

I want do remember the column width and write it to a file, when the window is started , the column width is read from the file and the table is set as that. I also want the column width is not fixed and can be changed by mouse.But I am always failded.
How to do? would you please help me!
Thanks a lots.

To "remember" the column widths, add a mouse listener to the table header. Upon mouseReleased(), get the column widths and save them to your file. When the application starts next time, get the stored widths and set them using:
table.getColumn("XXX").setPreferredWidth(...);
By default, your columns are adjustable, but you can use:
table.getTableHeader().setResizingAllowed(true);

How to set dynamic column width for analysis item

Dear Experts,
I have a query view which is added in the web template as an analysis item. The web item properties on width is not working - I tried entering a value in the width but when I execute the template, the query view's width still stays the same.
Module com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth don't seem correct because I don't want the column width to be static. As my number of columns may change, I wanted the overall width of my query view to stay the same.
Appreciate any ideas which can solve this issue
Thanks and Regards,
huimin
BW newbie

Hi Huimin,
I don't think it is possible to fix the width of the Analysis webitem since it dynamically adjusts its width based on the text maxlength within its cells. Unless you use com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth where the cols are static, you cannot achieve this.
Even if you do override the css settings using a cell padding or something, the portal settings would override the same. How about using a Report webitem to insert tables/charts & check if the width can be adjusted here - just a thought.

How to set the column width in the PDF exports of interactive reports ?

Hello,
I have a huge problem with the PDF export for the Interactive reports. I'm using APEX 3.2.
I have to produce a PDF report in landscape format that show 21 columns. My problem is that the columns have a ridiculous short width and that the text inside the columns do not wrap in the columns. So I get things like that :
Date Name
2011 Leina
I should see 2011-08-01 and the name Leinad Jan
I tried several things to format the columns, but none of the them has any effect on the PDF itself.
1) I used HTML code in the report query. It works well with the interactive report, but display the HTML tags in the PDF.
2) I used css to set the width of my columns. It works in the interactive report, but not in the PDF, the column width do not change.
It's like the report do not notice that my page format is Legal 14 x 8.5 (Landscape) and still believe it's 8.5 x 11 (which is "portrait")
Do you have any idea so set the columkn widths in the reports ?
Thank you !

FerasI think that your problem probably has more to do with the Layout you're using (or not using) than it does with individual column sizes. What layout are you using?
What happens when you set the size (or preferredSize, minimumSize, and maximumSize) on the whole JTable?
You might also be looking for JTable.[getColumnModel()|http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JTable.html#getColumnModel%28%29].[getColumn()|http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/table/TableColumnModel.html#getColumn%28int%29].[setPreferredWidth()|http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/table/TableColumn.html#setPreferredWidth%28int%29].
If none of those approaches work, post an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem.

Can't set custom column widths in JTable

I'm trying to set custom columns widths. They are set as I wish but then they are reset to default values (all columns have the same size). This is caused by method JFrame.setVisible(true) which invokes JTree.setWidthsFromPreferredWidths(). It can be investigated from following stack trace printed when a column being resized (see below).
How to prevent this auto width sizing?
P.S. can't override JTable.setWidthsFromPreferredWidths(); seems it's private

     public void columnMarginChanged(ChangeEvent event) {

When I create the table I have code like this:TableColumn col = getColumnModel().getColumn(2);
col.setMinWidth(width + 4);
col.setMaxWidth((int)(width * 1.2));Works just fine for me. The setWidthsFromPreferredWidths() method will use these limits as far as I can see.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
<Re-Titled By Host>

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?

Dear SharePoint Developers,
Please help.
I need to know How to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx?
I think this is a "sealed column", whatever that is, which is shown in SPD 2013 as a column of content type "document, folder, MyCustomContentType".
I know when I set the column order in my custom Content Type settings page, it is correct.
But, when I load the NewDocSet.aspx page, the column order that I set in the settings page is NOT used for this "sealed column" which is bad.
Can you help?
Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to set the column order of a sealed column in a custom Content Type for the new item form NewDocSet.aspx.
Per my knowledge, if you have Content Type management enabled for the list or library (if you see a list of content type with the option to add more), the display order of columns is set for each content type.
Drill down into one of them and you'll see the option under the list of columns for that content type.
To apply the column order in the NewDocSet.aspx page, you need to:
Select Site Settings, under Site Collection Administration, click Content type publishing. In the Refresh All Published
Content Types section, choose Refresh all published content types on next
update.
Run two timer jobs(Content Type Hub, Content Type Subscriber) in central admin(Central Administration--> Monitoring--> Review timer jobs).

How to set a specific width to all the TextInputs used in a mxml file on its creation complete?

How to set a specific width to all the TextInputs used in a mxml file on its creation complete?

Hi subhajit nag,
I think the best approach would what I say is if you can make use of a Global variable or using a Singleton class having a variable which can be accessed globally through out the application.
Below is the sample what I am talking to:
So in below example you can access the variables textInputWidth and textInputHeight globally throghout the application since you have decalred them in main mxml file.
You can access these variabled in another mxml file as Application.application.textInputWidth and Application.application.textInputHeight. So if at all you are required to modify these values you are only required to modify at a single place in main mxml file..thats it.
If you are use any Singleton classes like ModelLocator you can place these variables in this class and refer from that class.
Hope this resoved your problem..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]private var textInputWidth:int = 250;
[Bindable]private var textInputHeight:int = 25;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas1">
<mx:TextInput id="txt1" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas2">
<mx:TextInput id="txt2" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas id="canvas3">
<mx:TextInput id="txt3" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:TextInput id="txt4" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
<mx:TextInput id="txt5" width="{textInputWidth}" height="{textInputHeight}"/>
</mx:Application>
If this post answers your question or helps, please kindly mark it as such.

New to portal: Setting the column width in portal QBE report

I'm trying to set different widths to different columns in the QBE report. One of the columns in the report contains long descriptive text. With the default column width the reports runs into many pages and user has to scroll a lot. I would like to set the column width for this column so that it does not wrap for every 2/3 words. In the customization tab, I'm setting the width type to "Char" and selecting the number of characters to be displayed in that coulmn. Percent/pixel width type also didn't help. Should I set the Header width also?. I'm not sure where to set this header column width.QBE report just ignores these customization parameters and displays the report in default format. Please let me know if you have any idea/solution to this problem.

How to set a fixed width for a box

Hi there,
Struggling here.... must admit.
I need a solution whereby I can set a fixed width for a box that is grouping two buttons. I suppose generally, I want to know how to set a fixed width for anything element.
See the picture below. I want the two buttons to stay the same distance apart, and I want the grouped buttons to stay the same distance from the right edge of the window, even as a user resizes the window.
This is what happens when you reduce the size of the window .....
I would like to stop this from happening.
I can't figure out how accomplish keeping the parent div a fixed width, and a fixed position from the right side of the window, so the buttons won't overlap.
Perhaps I'm doing the whole thing wrong.
I mean, is there a way to accomplish this without grouping the buttons? That is, make the buttons fixed width, fixed distance apart from each other, and fixed distance from the right side of the window, even as the user resizes the page?
I am trying to accomplish this using the Min/Max width settings, but given that there are so many different units to choose from, and the fact that when I place a button or box on the screen, it seems to be creating that button or box with a percentage-based width, I don't know how many pixels to set it to.... sigh....
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Sam

Okay after much futzing I figured out at least part of the solution I need, but if someone knows of a more efficent way to do this please let me know.
I set a fixed minimum width in pixels for both of the buttons at 156px.
I then made the left button float left and the right button float right.
I then made the parent div for the buttons float right.
That made the buttons stay the same size.
The only thing I need to figure out how to do now is make the parent div stay a consistent distance in pixels from the right. I tried setting a right margin but that didn't work. As you size the window down, the div gets closer to the edge, until it passes it.
