Column width too narrow - cuts off content in cells

I have an issue with Appsheet making the columns a bit too narrow. It also seems to be a bit inconsistent in how it decides how wide a column should be. Below is an image of the problem:

As you can see, the numbers on the second row in column “Tilhørende enheder” and “Salgsklar” are cut off. How do I prevent this? I’ve tried using “Save and Verify Data” but to no difference. The columns pictured all have the “Wide” column width setting enabled. All the columns are virtual columns using a SELECT() statement to create a list.

Perhaps it’s even possible to remove the (redundant) column name in each cell and only have the number leaving only the column name in the header? Though I guess it could still cut it off…

Best regards

yes, if you are not using those reverse reference VCs in any other expression, you could give very short column names to those VCs and further shorter names to the column headings ( achieved through display name property). In the example below, please check "Order Details"and “Suborder Details” in the picture below. The actual column names for the Order details column is just (#) and for “Suborder Details” it is just (*#)

Actual columns names are very short ( as in picture below)

One point is these very short column names are good for display in views in your use case but such column names with just some symbols may make lesser sense for app maintenance in the longer run. So you may need to decide on best possible combination of both the worlds.

Hope this helps.
