Report Studio - can't find crosstab space to remove it.

I have a RS report that is basically a table with three crosstabs.  On the right hand side of the the second and third crosstab table cells there is a narrow space that I cannot get rid of.  I've attached a snapshot of that part of the report.  Any ideas or suggestions?  It's a nit but it really bugs me!

Thanks!

What do I look for?  I don't see anything that stands out.

Did you design this report? To be honest it looks as though it isn't one complete crosstab report but maybe several? Crosstab reports share the same columns and rows across the board. I do not believe there is a way to have 1 portion of a crosstab seperated completely from the rest of it.

I did design the report.  There are actually three crosstabs.  One that shows current week, one for MTD and one for YTD.  The YTD and MTD have their row lables hidden so they look like an extention of the first crosstab or separate lists.

Maybe look at the table cell and see if there is spacing or something? Hard to say really..

Go to the page structure and look for an item between the crosstabs and remove it from this view.  Also, check the padding or size and overflow properties.

I've checked all of the padding and spacing and looked for extra 'items'.  Still can't find it.  Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll come across it someday I'm sure!

Can you send the xml?  Maybe we can help you find it.

I've attached it to this post.  Let me know if you find anything.  Thanks!

I saw that there's some padding being done in your css; have you tried setting padding to 0px (not blank)?

Sue,
I noticed that you used some fixed sizing.  You want to make sure that the list columns and column titles where sized and not the text within them.  I ran into similar issues when using fixed width and found that when selecting multiple items, I inadvertantly selected some text items as well.  Just a suggestion...

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I'll give them a try when I get back from vacation.  I'm off to OLAP modeling for the next three days then on to Colorado for two weeks.  Think S*N*O*W.  Think White Christmas!!!    :D
