Compact number and alignment formatting inconsistently applied in table columns

[vfalchuk]

Hi everyone,
I'm encountering an issue with Looker Studio when formatting table visualizations.

Even though I apply the same settings to multiple columns, such as enabling Compact number format or setting text alignment to center, the formatting is not applied consistently. Some columns display compact numbers as expected (for example, 152047 as 152K), while others keep the full number format even though the same toggle is enabled.

Also, for the first few text columns such as "Manager", "Branch", and "Team Lead", I set alignment to center, but they remain left-aligned in the final table. This happens even after manually toggling the alignment settings or recreating the table from scratch.

I have tried:

Manually toggling and reapplying the compact number and alignment options

Creating a new table from scratch with the same fields

Using calculated fields with zero-width space (CHAR 8203) to force centering

Despite these attempts, the issue persists and appears randomly across different sessions and browsers.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a known workaround or fix?

Thanks in advance!
