XLS Justification Issue

rbuser

Hi,

To replicate the issue I am seeing I have created a very simple
example here:

I have a report with a TppLabel in the Header which is acting as a
column heading and it is left justified. I have a another TppLabel that
is in the Detail section and it sits under the Header label but it
is right justified

As an example layout:

Test Column 1
92

Test Column 1 above is the label in the Header and the value 92 is the
data in the Detail section.

When I export to XLSReport and open it in Excel the number 92 seems
to be shifted into the next adjacent cell resulting in something like this:


Test Column 1
92

How can I export to XLS the result output is exactly the same as the
example layout?

The settings I am using are:

ppReport1.DeviceType := dtXLSReport;
ppReport1.XLSSettings.ExportComponents := [ecText];
ppReport1.XLSSettings.IgnorePageHeight := True;
ppReport1.XLSSettings.ScaleToPageWidth := True;
ppReport1.XLSSettings.PreserveLineBreaks := True;
ppReport1.XLSSettings.MergeAdjacentCells := False;


David.

This was answered Jan 19 via email, but just noticed this post.

The solution is to set AutoSize False and size the header and detail
elements width to be the same. Then set the text alignment of the header
element to be right-justified. (When the element is right-justified, then it’s
right position is mapped to the nearest column. When an element is
left-justified its left position is mapped to the nearest column. )
