Hi guys, So currently I am pulling in data and outputting it in the form of a table. However, there is quite a bit of information being pulled across for each section of information which does not fit in a single row (a single line) where the end of the text is being cut off at the end. Is there any way to change the column height, so that a single table cell can have multiple lines of information being portrayed? Thank you! ---

If you are using Grafana v7 you could try using the old table panel from v6 - although the new v7 table panel has some good features, it is missing lots of features that were in the v6 panel. Edit your panel JSON and change: `"type": "table"` to `"type": "table-old"` That will change the panel version (you can always change back). That may handle wrapping differently and solve your problems, if not you could try the `Sanitize HTML` option on a column and then use html tags within your output to format text or insert newlines however you want. ---

You have not said why using table-old does not help or what you have tried so it’s going to be difficult for anyone to give further help. Using table-old and the Sanitize HTML options works fine for me. I am using Grafana 8.1.5 currently. For example, with a MySQL datasource I can do something like this to output HMTL line breaks between values: > SELECT CONCAT(db.val1, ‘ > ’, db.val2, ‘ > ’, db.val3) > FROM … > WHERE … The result being 3 values output in one table cell but on three different lines. Sanitize HTML is the most powerful feature of table-old - you can output any HTML you want and therefore format the table in ways no other built-in features allow. You can build tables with icons, fonts, pictures, colours, styling, clickable links etc. ---

I don’t know and I don’t think this is a table span issue so I would suggest you start a new topic and give full details of your grafana version, data source, the exact query you are using etc.
