Wrap text in ALV cell

2296 Views

Hello,

I have an ALV table, and some colums are of type text with quite long lengths.

Initially the columns have a small length, but when the user writes long texts (for example 100 characters) the cell will is automatically enlarged to show the complete text on the screen. That's quite annoying because with two or three columns like this, storing long texts, the overall width of the table is really big.

I know that there is a way to define fixed columns, but the problem with this is that then, when the long text is input in the table, you cannot scroll inside the cell to see the values, you can only see the beginning of the phrase.

I would like to do something similar to the Excel. First I would like to allow the users to resize the columns (just like the Excel grid) and then I would like to wrap long texts in different rows (inside the cell) to reduce the cell width.

Is this possible? What would you recommend in this case?

Regards
