| Sep 16, 2010 at 19:33 | comment | added | Jason | @xanadont if you were to make that bet, you would lose. please believe me when i tell you that EVERY PIECE OF DATA ON THAT SCREEN IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. | |
| Sep 15, 2010 at 20:09 | comment | added | xanadont | While this helps you cheat squeezing in data it IS NOT the correct solution. Please go the extra mile to really understand what exactly the end-user is doing at this screen. I'd be willing to bet that either a) no, the user really doesn't need to see all those columns or b) no, the user really doesn't need to see all those rows. | |
