Hi Hugh,

What do you mean by cumbersome? Expanded lines will have some sort of heading and thus the expanded details look better with an indent. Raw desriptions may not require this indent on it's own.

The financial reporter just reads the account description from the data, and you can append 3 spaces in front of it with a formula. That's how you would do it with Excel if you wanted to pre-append text from a value in a different cell.

For a single account, as opposed to a range of accounts, you could also use:
=" " & GLAMT("DESC",$B11)
where B11 is the cell location of the single account.
