Title: Insert blank column in List report
Post by: elsolo21 on 25 Mar 2010 12:38:36 PM
I thought this would be an easy thing to do (and maybe it is) but I can't figure out how to add an empty column into a list report.  My user wants to output the report in Excel and have a few blank columns with random headings that his people can use for documentation.

Any ideas?

thanks

Add a dataitem to your list, click UNLOCK
and select the text item inside the list column and DELETE or CUT the text item.

That's awesome!  I always forget about the power of the 'UNLOCK'.  Worked perfectly.

thanks!
