Calculated Column needs left alignment

Question

I have the same exact problem as related here

However, the solution suggested is inadequate. This would require me to manual add the web part to each list that I create. (I'm sure you can see why this is horrible)

Is there another way to attain this by maintaining the Number type output?

Are you allowed to edit the masterpage? – MdMazzotti Mar 11 '14 at 09:58 — MdMazzotti, Mar 11 '14 at 09:58

I did it this way with jquery...

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.class name here:contains(text in the header))').html('<div style="width:100%; text-align:left;">text for the column header</div>');
});

alignment now on the left.

You could do something like this:

keeping the Number format, edit your formula to output something like:

="<span class='fixMyHead'>" & [Some field] "</span>"

Then, using jQuery:

$('.fixMyHead').each(function(){  
    $td = $(this).parents('td:first');   
    $td.closest('table').find('th').eq($td.index()).find('.ms-numHeader').css('text-align', 'left');
    $td.children(':first').css('text-align', 'left');
});
