Is it possible to add a "+" symbol in front of positive values?
Using the image above as an example, is it possible to add a "+" value in front of the 89.0% without writing it as an text algorithm in the data view?

Feature to add a "+" symbol in front of positive values only.

Using the image below as an example, can we add a feature to add a "+" value in front of the 89.0% without writing it as an text algorithm in the data view? I understand…

Add all entities to the Quick Layout?
Hello, Is there a way to add all entities, used in the related cubes, to the Quick Layout? So far I have only managed to add one entity at the time.

Error messages in layouts more explicit than "Oops"

Due to this limit, sometimes the users have a "Oops" error in their layout, but…

Dynamic ranking functions in dataview layout
At the moment the ranking functions are computed once for the dataview and only recomputed when the screen is refreshed. I'd like to have them dynamic. They should be updated whenever the sorting is changed by the user. So the cumulated values are computed as expected by the user. That would also allow finding out whether…

Elsewhere, where a DataView layout is using an entity in Axis 'By Row', the negative values appear with '-' prefix. It would…
