Background Colour of Row Headers in Tables

#1

Good day to all of you;

I have two dashboards that use tables: 1) displayed as a flat table, and 2) displayed with Row Headers. For the flat table I am able to easily colour the background of any of the columns in the table. For the table with Row Headers I cannot figure out how to colour the background of individual Row Header columns (I can change the colour of measure columns but not Row Header columns).

Can anyone explain to me how I can modify the background colour of individual columns that are displaying Row Header data?

For example if I have Row Headers for Registration Date, Referral Date, and Contact by Date with measure columns showing Count, and Approved Mileage; we want the Referral Date column to have a green background while the other two Row Headers stay with the default background colour without having to switch to viewing the table as a Flat Table.

Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide.

Have a great day!

Tom

I would like to know this too as I spent ages trying to work it out and then gave up and went with a flat table.

There’s an existing feature request for this - Issue 76803. We’ve added both of you to this feature request and you will be informed when it is released.

If you really need it, you can achieve it with CSS. (Everything is possible in Dundas BI :wink: )

Put an html label off canvas and put the following text in it. This will set the 3rd column of row headers to background of green. (tested in version 6)

<style>
td[hierarchyindex="3"]
{ 
  background-color: green !important;
}
</style>

Usual caveats apply…
