Header Group Row

Alicia Meredith-Smith

Dear Community,

 

Is it possible to create a group Header that keeps specific columns together, as below? I am looking for the functionality that will create the DAY – WTD – MTD sections for me, in a dataview.

 

 

Thank you in advance ��

 

Kindest regards

Hello Alicia,

we had an similar issue on my side. We solved it simply with labels. Not the best solution but it worked. If anybody else has an better approach I would be interested.

Good morning  Andreas, 

Thank you so much for your reply. 

I have gone down the label route but the labels don't export to Excel unfortunately. 

I need to create this report as an automated subscription so it's quite an issue as it does not render as expected. ��‍♀️

It's really frustrating as this should be a stock-standard functionality in a reporting application.

Hello Alicia,

another idea that come to my mind. I wouldn´t call it a solution but it should work if you absolutly have to get this fixed. 

First you create two entitys. The first one represents the headers Actuals-Day LY-Day and so on. The second entity represents the grouped headers. Link them via an relationship.

In the next step you create an cube that consist of time and the newly created entity. Last step would be to fill the cube with an procedure according to your layout.

Kind regards

Hi Andreas,

 

That sounds like it could work.

 

Let me give that a try and see if I can get it to work! ��

 

Thank you so much for this idea!

Hi Andreas,

If you do have an example, that would help me a great deal. I'm not too familiar with using procedures yet. ��

Hi @ALICIA MEREDITH-SMITH ,
On a separate topic, I've been trying to figure out MTD and WTD calculations for a while now. How are you doing it?

Thanks!

Jon De Leon,

 

 

We create new cubes that are versioned by week and month. I am very happy to jump on a Zoom/Teams call with you to show you what we did – I know how difficult it can be without an example – so let me know ��

Hi @ALICIA MEREDITH-SMITH,

on web designer the Dataview supports a multi-level column header when using the web-client. The feature can be enabled from the web designer in the table-style settings.

Regards,
Leone

Leone Scaburri,

 

Thank you for getting back to me.

 

The Multi-level header checkbox is ticked but I don't know how to use it if I'm honest. How do I add the Topmost header to group the second row of headers? ��

 

Thanks again for your help!

 

Kindest regards

Alicia

Hi Alicia,

Its a simple drag and drop. If the two entities are independent of each other, you can choose which to make the topmost header by simply dragging it to the front.

If the entities are part of an hierarchy, for eg. month and quarter, you cannot choose the topmost header as quarter is a parent of the month entity and will always be the topmost header.

Thanks,
Samson.
