wrap column headers
Does anyone know when or if the ability to wrap headers on tables will be created? I have columns that have long names but the values that these columns contain is very small. The lack of an ability ...

We do not support text wrap in column headers. Consider renaming columns with shorter names. You can also post a feature request on the forum below:

Not sure if I'm the first one to find it but I've found a solution to this problem. Please follow the steps below to wrap the column headers:
- Switch off the 'Auto-size Column Width' under 'Column Headers' in the formatting & make sure that 'Word wrap' is turned ON. The same can be seen in the screenshots below.
- After doing the above, move to the visual, place the cursor in b/w the two columns headers such that you see a drag icon.
- Once the drag icon appears, drag the column width as per requirement.
- A sample screenshot can be seen as below where the column header has been wrapped
Hope it helps!
Thank you!
