Font Size Issue with Multiple Tables in Render Tool

This appears to be a bug with either the Layout Tool or the Render Tool. When I setup two Tables using the Horizontal Layout Tool and export to Excel using the Render tool, the font size of the bottom-right cell of the first table is too large. No amount of changing the font properties within the Alteryx Reporting tools appears to fix this.

Hey @blairmbailey

 

I'm super curious about this - and would love to try to duplicate this on my machine.

 

Are you able to strip down your workflow to the bare minimum to create this issue (even with faked data) and add to either this or onto a discussion thread under Designer?  

If I can duplicate this then you may also want to open up a ticket with the support team?

 

Thanks @blairmbailey

Hi @SeanAdams,

 

I created a basic workflow recreating the issue. I don't appear to have the file upload option, but screenshot below. Upon further investigation, the issue happens when adding Report Text to the Layout.

 

If you're able to recreate, please let me know and I'll open a ticket with support.

Did support follow up on this at all?  I am seeing this as well.

Did you ever find a fix to this? I am facing the same issue.

@hfaub Nope, never heard from support about a fix for this. I don't have access to this report anymore, but I would take a different approach and join the monthly columns with the YTD column on metric rather than leave as two separate tables. I've created an example workflow below - not sure why, but I can only post a screenshot rather than the workflow itself.

@blairmbailey , I ended up figuring out a solution after posting this. At first, I was using the Report Text tool to "attach to existing field" (i.e. my table), which was giving the funky font in my output. I changed the configuration of the Report Text to "create new field" & used a Layout tool to combine the text and table. That ended up fixing my issue!
