You can change the appearance of the cross table in many different
ways.
About this task
For example, you
can choose to display headers either horizontally or vertically. By using
vertical headers for narrow columns, the screen estate can be used more
efficiently. You can use text color and background color to highlight specific
rows or columns. You can also specify text alignment, as well as bold and
italic font style. You can style all the headers on the same hierarchical
level, or an individual header. You can style an entire column or row, as well
as all the cell values in the cross table.
Note: The text and
background coloring that is specified in the styling popover is different from
the value-based coloring. Any value-based coloring that is configured in the
cross table will override the styling colors. See
Working with colors to learn more about value-based coloring.
Procedure
-
Click a header in the cross table.
A popover is opened. It contains styling settings
categorized in different sections for
Header and
Values.
-
Hover the mouse pointer over the
Header and
Values sections. The parts of the cross table
that will be affected by the selections you make, will be highlighted.
Tip: You
can move the popover out of the way if it hides the parts of the cross table
that you need to see when you are styling it. Just point the mouse cursor at
the top of the popover, then click and drag it to another position.
-
Make the styling selections of your choice, then close the popover
by clicking outside the popover.
Tip: Which
styling settings are available in the popover depends on which header you
click. To reach styling settings for the values, open the popover from one of
the headers closest to the values. For example Lyon, Hamburg, or March in the
example. Alignment settings for the values are available from the headers on
the horizontal axis.
