Default column widths on embedded reports obscuring data

This is a known problem which at EMPOWER they indicated in the Keynote by Harrison that they were putting their best engineers on.  The problem seems worse when the number is formatted with a $ sign or as a  %.  So  you can try removing the $ formatting or have a mirror formula field which is used on that report as a plain number which does not have the $ format. 

The other trick that sometimes works is to override the column heading like this with underscores 

_My_Column_Heading_Words___

Because there are no spaces Quickbase may not wrap that column Heading, and hence it will preserve the width as wide as the adjusted label.  But typically you will know the magnitude of the typical numbers in the column so you know how wide the column needs to be even though it won't be dynamic.   

Please post back with how these work-a-rounds worked.
