Does anyone know how to truncate column text in a table view? I have a column that shows a property address and I can restrict the column width, but knack wraps the text to a new line resulting in some entries having a height of 3 or 4 lines. Ideally, I would want it to truncate the text to the column width.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
