How can i avoid the text wrapping in cells as it shows very less data. I wan't to show my text in multiple lines. Text is multiline in headers of tables but not in data cells. screen shot 2018-01-20 at 4 25 33 pm

Hmm, I had to double check, I don't think when manually truncate any strings (we had a utility for doing that in some other projects). I've just had a look at the lastest docs and noticed a new prop for Text RN components, ellipsizemode. That is probably what is causing the truncation if you are running a more recent version of RN.

The easiest way around this would be writing custom cells to use the new api - it'll be a while before we get to updating for it.

Judging by your picture you are trying to make a pretty wide table for a low res mobile device? Especially because we don't support horizontal scroll, it can be hard to make tables play nice with many columns.

Here number of lines is default prop of value 1: https://github.com/sussol/react-native-data-table/blob/master/src/Cell.js

That'll cause ellipsizemode to take affect, as described in the most recent RN docs.

You could try setting it to 0 with a custom cell, but you may run into layout issues on the table.
