Help with field alignment.

I have a List with the Detail row broken up Grid.
I'm having some basic issues with alignment. (See attached image.)
I've used right-align on numeric and currency fields.
I don't want to use a Table for other reasons.

Would appreciate suggestions, maybe settings.

Thanks
Milt.

Hi Milt,

What version of BIRT are you using and can you attach that report design since it's with the sample db? That way I can see how you have everything set up and run it myself. Thanks.

Hi,

BIRT 2.3.1
Using the built in Classic Models database, Products table.

If you can attach the actual design to the thread, then we can have a look at the layout and propose a solution.

Thanks.

Design attached.

Run with Preview and scroll down to bottom. You can see the currency numbers in the right column not so well aligned. The middle column of numbers is obvious. The right most column in the grid is just ignored, as if I made a 3 column grid.

Used Open BIRT 2.3.0. (I hear it's the same in Actuate BIRT 10)

Any help welcome.
Milt.

Milt,

Ok, here's what you need to do for your alignment. Select each individual column of the grid in the detail row by selecting the table, then selecting the tab above the column. Then, in the general tab of the property editor for each one, change the width to 25%. Let me know if you have any other questions.
