Welcome aboard to the Community, @finance87.

 

I can show you how to change the column width of the report in QuickBooks Online. You'll need to hover your mouse beside the column header and drag the scale width icon to the left or right.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Select the Reports menu from the left panel.
  2. Search and click the report you want to customize.
  3. Hover your mouse on the column boarder until you see the scale width icon.
  4. Drag the icon to adjust the column width.
  5. Select Run Report

Additionally, I recommend the following resource which has video tutorials to help a user customize reports, as well as how to export it to Excel:

This function has not been working for some time and a prior thread about this issue is no longer accessable - I am told I don't have permission.  I have attached the message chain

Hello, @CaliEHSBusinesssolutions.

 

You can drag the columns of the report. Let's isolate your concern for a possible browser-related. You can use either of the following shortcut keys:

  • Google Chrome, press CTRL  Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL  Shift P
  • Internet Explorer: Press CTRL  Shift P
  • Safari: press Command Shift N

If you’re able to able to change the columns of your report, you'd want to clear the cache of your regular web browser. Also, you can use the Browser Health Checkup Tool to check any issues with your browser’s health and its compatibility with QuickBooks Online.
