Default #### in Access Pivot Tables

You just might be running into a case where the size of the font , length of
the string, and the width of the "Cell" conspire to prevent display of the
entire value. When that happens, the result will be #### is displayed to
tell you "there is something here, but that it is too wide to print/display
in this particular mode."

The solution, obviously, is to give that cell more width so it can do its
job more gracefully.

The numbers are formatted correctly and the pivot table looks fine until I
look at it in Print Preview. Then many of the numbers change to the ####
symbols and print with the #### symbols showing.

Sternb -

What should the data look like? (How big are the numbers?) And how
many
#s do you see in the widened column?
You may want to format your data - are you showing both comma and decimal
separators as well as maybe a currency symbol and/or brackets for
negative
values? They all take up room. Expand the column very wide until you
get a
value you can see - maybe there is an error in a calculation or something
that is returning numbers much larger than you expect?
