#### in Access Pivot Tables
I have an Access 2007 pivot table and can't seem to get rid of the ### signs
showing instead of my values showing. I have widened the columns but am still having problems. Help! -- sternb |

#### in Access Pivot Tables
Sternb -
What should the data look like? (How big are the numbers?) And how many #s do you see in the widened column? You may want to format your data - are you showing both comma and decimal separators as well as maybe a currency symbol and/or brackets for negative values? They all take up room. Expand the column very wide until you get a value you can see - maybe there is an error in a calculation or something that is returning numbers much larger than you expect? -- Daryl S "sternb" wrote: I have an Access 2007 pivot table and can't seem to get rid of the ### signs showing instead of my values showing.

#### in Access Pivot Tables
The numbers are formatted correctly and the pivot table looks fine until I
look at it in Print Preview. Then many of the numbers change to the #### symbols and print with the #### symbols showing. -- sternb "Daryl S" wrote: Sternb - What should the data look like?

#### in Access Pivot Tables
You just might be running into a case where the size of the font , length of
the string, and the width of the "Cell" conspire to prevent display of the entire value. When that happens, the result will be #### is displayed to tell you "there is something here, but that it is too wide to print/display in this particular mode." The solution, obviously, is to give that cell more width so it can do its job more gracefully.
