Hi Elastic Gurus, I have created a table in Kibana Dashboard and some cells have large amount of text. Is there a text wrap functionality or ability to resize the cell so that we can view the full data without get trimmed. This is how my panel looks, please advise. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/4/a4bf671adf8e6b373be623b1ab319256a3856088.png) ---

Are you able to click on those lines and see the underlying data? If so you might be able to expand out the given fields. ---

@Wave Thanks for your response, I could see the data after I expand the columns but I am just wondering if Kibana visualization has a feature to wrap or show full data based on the column width. Please advise ---

What version of Kibana? Is that the Lens Table or Legacy Aggregation based Table The Legacy version of the table has a switch... Legacy Table ![Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 1.44.38 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/2/c28aaae129a66fe119649d7e9a8216af63c9091c.jpeg) What I found as a workaround is to create the table in the Legacy the click the Edit In Lens ... and it will work Lens Table ![Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 1.45.47 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/f/2f65414f6cfb20dcefbdcc3d424e0cf00cb7037d.jpeg) @Stratoula_Kalafateli I could not figure out how to do this directly in Lens Well DOH!! I figured it out NOW 🙂 ![Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 1.52.16 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/c/1/c13d825a3be666c53e74aa408f4eceaa40710795.jpeg) ---

I am on 7.16.3 and on open source version, not sure if the options you are showing are available in 7.16.3. As I could not see it. ---

Assume you mean Basic / Free ... which is fine none of this is commercial license related Looks like in 7.16.3 you would need to use the Legacy Aggregation-based table, the setting is there... not in Lens Yet. This is 7.16.3 Aggregation Based Table... ![Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 3.39.48 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/9/9/99e5b333613f55fe222911f00eae8155aa8c3c11.jpeg) ---

Yes... What I showed you above is lens. I'm not sure which version. The difference between 7.16 and 8.7 is substantial. ---
