SUMMARY
When using the Data Consolidate feature with both the Use Labels In Left Column and Create Links To Source Data options selected, the first column of the destination area is formatted to a small column width.

MORE INFORMATION
This is done to provide a nicely formatted outline (when expanded).

This occurs with or without the Use Labels In Top Row option enabled.

This also occurs when using the macro function CONSOLIDATE.

The actual width depends upon your video resolution.
