When working with large Cross Tables it is now possible to scroll in the hierarchy as well as through the values. There are now three options for configuring scrolling in Cross Tables:

• Scroll row headers means that the cross table will always scroll through both row headers and column values.
• Adjust automatically is the new default where the cross table will switch automatically between the two above options dependent on the width of the row headers relative to the width of the whole cross table.
