Reports - Adjust column width
Would be useful to be able to narrow column width, especially when decimals are removed and more months are required on 1 page. Similar to Excel, where we can change width and height of rows or columns.
Hi team, to share your feedback with the right teams and individuals can you please explain the screens/pages in Xero you'd find this particularly useful?

Because you new bills list view is to **** I cant see the information accurately any more.
Also need to be able to reorder the columns because some computer (not accounts) person decided to mess them all up and now I can tell heads from tails. -

Being able to control the column width, helps stop Xero turning a one page report into a landscape multi page report. This is critical to look professional for board reporting. There also seems to be a problem with excess spacing between columns??.
Having this functionality is also important for audit/reliability. Excel reports can be "edited" by users. Reports "straight from Xero", no not have this perception problem.
Can we also have as an option:
1 - a vertical line please to separate sections of reports. One example might be the old report where you could easily see two column sections 1/ this month actual vs budget and 2/ section ytd actual vs budget.
2- date and time printed
These might seem trivial but speedy readability is very important for board members. Thank you. -

Reports
eg - Account Transactions - where you might have transactions with longish
Descriptions, you want to select extra columns and the Report tries to fit in the space provided (which is great but it means that some columns eg Date will 'wrap' so that only about half a dozen transaction rows are show in the screen instead of about 12 - for want of a slightly widened Date (or other) column.
eg - P&L - Current financial year by month. I have to scroll across to see Year To date totals, even when I have deselected Decimals which means the Month columns do not need to be as wide. -

I agree with Glenn! It is difficult to understand how such software as Xero in 2023 is not able to do such a simple thing.
- In reports some columns take up too much width (eg when decimals are removed and the values are not large) and some columns are way too narrow eg Description when you have Payment: and a long named Supplier, or extra detail in the Description narrative wrapping to 2 or 3 lines. Anything over 35 characters wraps for me.
