How to center the text or numbers in one column?

Hi folks,

How can we center the text or numbers in one column or align them to the left or right like what we do in Excel? For example, the following JUMP data table has the defaults to align the numbers to the right and align the text to the left, but I would like to center them all. Any quick button to fulfill this function? Please advise. Thanks.

For what purpose? I usually consider JMP tables more like database tables rather than spreadsheets like in Excel.

Yes, numbers on the right all the other data types on the left.
Great help to spot columns with incorrect format.

Hi Jarmo,

The format does not look neat. If we can center all the data including the column title, that would help compulsive disorder patients. LOL. Thank you.

You could write a wish in the wish list.
If there are other JMP users who need this feature as well, they can support the wish with a Kudo ...
