Re: Dynamic Header on Dataview
Hi Akrem,
Ahhh. I tried that one. The if condition with zero value. But, the difference is I dont set the "By Column". So, the all column on datablock still be shown but when the condition zero is triggered, the column on that datablock will show zero value without hiding. Okay, let's try it. Thanks a lot.

US Economic Outlook: February 2026
As the U.S. economy moves toward 2026, consumer spending growth is increasingly concentrated among high-income households. Board’s February Economic Outlook explores how this K-shaped dynamic reshapes risk, volatility, and planning assumptions for business leaders.
Rather than broad-based income gains, today’s expansion is being driven by AI-fueled asset appreciation—creating momentum, but also vulnerability if markets correct.
In this outlook, you’ll learn:
- Who is driving consumer spending growth today
- Why wealth effects matter more than wages
- Where the biggest downside risks lie for 2026
- Which indicators leaders should monitor closely
Why this matters:
Concentrated growth requires more agile, data-driven planning—and Board helps organizations turn economic signals into confident decisions.

Where Planning is Heading
Why Agentic AI will redefine the CFO’s Role
AI is moving beyond automation. Agentic AI actively supports decisions, reshaping how finance leaders guide performance, manage risk, and orchestrate planning across the business.
Economic Outlook: The Risk Behind 2026 Growth
Nearly two-thirds of consumer spending growth now comes from the top 20% of households, creating a concentration risk that could reverse quickly if asset markets correct. Board’s Principal Economist unpacks what this means for stability, volatility, and the decisions leaders need to prepare for now.
New: The Boardroom—Where Strategy meets Execution
In February, we launched The Boardroom, our new monthly LinkedIn newsletter exploring the ideas and design choices shaping modern enterprise planning. Each edition focuses on one theme, starting with agentic AI and how it’s changing real decision-making across finance and operations.

Re: Breakpoints for a regular User
Hi @Robert Barkaway , thanks for the feedback. It does not seem a normal behavior, as with a Lite license it should be ignored, but I suspected this kind of behavior as indeed the debugger is interactive.
From what I see in the diagnostic log, the scheduler does not ignore the debug even with a Lite license, and sends to the client, which fails and exit.

Re: different number types and Totals
@Maik Burghardt, for the decimals and suffix, I would use the Format (if you are using an Entity by row in your screenshot).
After creating the Format, head to the DataView panel on the Screen, and attach the Format/Template to your DataView.
For the Share, depending on your calculation, you might be able to Use a Rule, and Apply on Totals.
Re: Dynamic Header on Dataview
Hi Akrem,
Thanks for the insight, really appreciate it. Actually, we did the way you told. The value is on point, but we have to find the name of the header.
