Style & Alignment

Customize how your columns look and behave by applying Cell Style and Column Alignment options. These settings help improve readability and highlight key values in your data.

Cell Style

The Cell Style lets you apply formatting to the content of the cells in a column. This includes bold, italic, or underline styles. It only affects the data rows—headers and footers are not styled.

Column Alignment

Column Alignment sets the horizontal alignment of all content in the column, including the header and any footer aggregations. Options include left, center, and right alignment.
