How can I autofit the content to cell in Alteryx?

Also, how can I make the headers bold and do the required color fill on the header row in Alteryx output using Alteryx?

At last, any other formatting suggestion to make the data presentable will be also appreciated.

Consider using a formatted Excel Template and Blob input/output tools to copy the template before overwriting with your data.

Check out this post for an overview. Depending on your version, I would probably use control containers instead of block until done but otherwise this is a great guide: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Engine-Works/The-Blob-Reporting-That-Isn-t-From-a-Horror-Film/ba-p/970280

Hello!

To autofit content in Alteryx, use the Table Tool and set the table width in the Render Tool. For bold headers and color fill, adjust the header style and apply color rules in the Table Tool. Additionally, consider wrapping text, setting column widths, adding borders, and using conditional formatting to enhance readability.

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for your suggestions. However, my problem of autofit to content is not getting solved even when I have used 'Table Width' as automatic in Table tool. Please suggest the alternative solution for this.
