PAW - Format Row/Column by attribute

(See attached documents for detailed screenshots)


Idea Details: Use a real-life scenario to explain the problem statement/pain points,

PAW have wonderful self-service capabilities. However, when building a dashboard to present data, there’s very few options on the cubeviewer to format a view as a financial report.

One missing function is the ability to format rows by attribute (like level) in order to assign color by hierarchy level so that the report is easier to read.


State your current workaround

There’s none in PAW. The alternative is to make an excel extraction and format the report manually

State any proposed solution

Inside the view properties, we could activate the option to format the view by attribute. There would be a prompt to guide user into setting up color, text, styles, borders for each level. Each ‘style’ can be applied to several attribute values


State the benefits/value this idea has, state # of users impacted and how often are they impacted)

This enhancement would allow a user to automatically format a view as a financial report in very little time (without the need of a modeler)
