I'm importing formatted excel files into text frames. The first one went perfectly, this second set refuses to go all the way to the edges on the left/top.
I set up the first import on the A-Parent. It's a flowing table so I just created a copy to make B-Parent and import a different excel sheet.
WHen I ctrl+shift+click the frame and place the new file, it drops it in with a gap between the left edge of the table and the frame edge, as well as a gap on top (see image).
I can not figure out what is happening.. the settings are exactly the same as they were before, but I can't fix it resize that side of the table. When I select a row it clearly shows the black highlight is short of the frame edge?
I searched fo any padding/offsets/etc but everything is a literal copy from the first set.. I'm kinda losing my mind chasing this one.

Tables always exist inside of text frames. So the spacing could come from the text frame that the table is sitting in.
Select the frame with the Selection tool and choose Object > Text Frame Options to view in Inset Spacing set in the text frame:

The space could also be a paragraph indent or paragraph alignment.
