- Row height: This specifies a pixel height for each row. The minimum row height is 30. If cell text is wrapped, the row height will only impact the header row.

- Group rows visually by first column: This will group the data by the values in the first column, and then display each group in a section on the table. If this is turned on, sorting and column editing will be disabled.
Layout
- Column Fit: “Fill” automatically adjusts column widths to fill the table and columns cannot be resized. “Fit cell” automatically adjusts columns to fit the body cell content so that all the cells’ content are visible. Columns can be resized. “Fit cell” and “Fit cell and header” automatically adjusts columns to fit the header and body cell content. Columns can be resized. If you would like to manually resize columns, you cannot use “Fill”. “Fit cell” and “Fit cell and header” may only be used when “Wrap text” is turned off.
- Wrap text: Wraps text onto multiple lines if the text is too long for the cell. If turned on, “Column Fit” may only be set to “Fill”. Warning: The Data Table is not optimized for wrapping text. Some features may not work as intended when on. It is strongly recommended to use a fixed row height when on. Applies to header and body cells.
- Custom Column Widths: Overrides column widths. Works with any “Column Fit” and “Wrap text” setting.
Column Formatting
- Ignore invalid dates: If you didn’t want invalid dates to show up as “Invalid dates”.
