    it looks like the column headers also cannot be wordwrapped.  Can Tibco take the wordwrap functionality of the CrossTable and add it as an option, to the GraphicalTable?

    Currently you need to wrap the text yourself. Create a calculated column and apply the expression below. In this example the text in the existing column YOUR_COLUMN wraps after maximum 50 characters (but not within a word) and does this as often as needed. In case there are already line breaks contained in the text, they are removed first with the substitute method to turn them into white spaces.

    RXReplace(Substitute(Trim([YOUR_COLUMN]),"\r\n"," "),"(.{1,50})( +|$\n?)|(.{1,50})","$1\r\n","g")
