Specifying header orientation and header text alignment for multiple headers

The header texts in cross tables can be displayed horizontally or vertically. You can also specify the horizontal and vertical alignment of the text within the header.

About this task

An example of a cross table with different header orientations and text alignments is shown below. Within a header, the horizontal alignment of the text can be set to Left, Center, or Right, and the vertical alignment to Top, Middle, or Bottom.

By changing to a vertical header orientation for narrow cross table columns, you can use the screen estate more efficiently. See also Changing height and width in tables.

Procedure

Click the header of a cross table column or row.
In the Header section of the popover, click the buttons to specify the horizontal text alignment, the vertical text alignment, and the header orientation.

Results

All headers on the same hierarchical level as the clicked header are adjusted at the same time.

Note: You can also adjust headers individually. For details, see Specifying header orientation and header text alignment for an individual header.
