Styling in the cross table

You can change the appearance of the cross table in many different ways.

1. Click a header in the cross table.
   A popover is opened. It contains styling settings categorized in different sections for Header and Values.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Read the help topics with detailed instructions to learn more about specific ways to style the cross table.

• Specifying header orientation and header text alignment for multiple headers
  The header texts in cross tables can be displayed horizontally or vertically. You can also specify the horizontal and vertical alignment of the text within the header.
• Specifying header orientation and header text alignment for an individual header
  Usually, you specify header orientation and header text alignment for multiple headers in the cross table at the same time. It is possible, though, to make these settings for an individual header.
• Specifying horizontal text alignment for cross table cells
  Usually, you specify the horizontal alignment of the calculated values in the cross table cells for all cross table cells at the same time. It is possible, though, to make this setting for an individual column only.
• Specifying text color and background color for multiple headers
  It is often convenient to change the appearance of all the cross table headers on the same hierarchy level.
• Specifying text color and background color for an individual header
  Sometimes it is useful to change the appearance of a certain cross table header to make it stand out compared to other headers.
• Specifying text color and background color for cross table cells
  You can specify the text or background color for all cross table cells, or for the cells in an individual column or row.
• Specifying text color, background color, and font style for subtotals and grand totals
  When the cross table shows subtotals or grand totals, it can be useful to change the color and font style to make them stand out compared to other rows and columns.
