[Former Member]

Hello expert,

       when I am creating a cross-tab, I want to make columns name of cross-tab grey color. please tell me how to get it.  currently I work around to insert a text and make it grey color, and cover and align with back column names. but it is hard to make them align perfectly, I tried adjust sized , but still can`t make them match, please help me to resolve it. appreciate very much.

Hi,

Right-click the column name and select Format Field > Border tab > check Background option and select the color you wish.

Now, this will only color the 'Field' and not the 'cell'. The cell can never be colored actually.

You would, instead, need to get rid of the cell margins and show just the field.

So, right-click the cross-tab in Preview Mode and select Grid Options > uncheck the 'Show Cell Margins' option.

Let me know how this goes!
