left/right/center justification in DV Tables / Pivots

I would like to be able to select the justification for columns of data, with these requirements:

  • Each column's justification property should be independent from the other columns
  • Data should be able to be aligned left/right/center regardless of data type (for example, numeric data could be left-aligned and text data could be right-aligned)
  • Each column heading should also have the option to be aligned left/right/center and this property should be independent from the data values in the same column.

    This is a great idea! Especially for columns with suppressed repeating values, if enough are suppressed it looks like there is no data in the cell. Perhaps a top and bottom justification could also be helpful.

    graphs should also have their included title functionality able to align - right now only the title outside of the graph can be moved.

    I fully support this idea, although I'm surprised it has not been in place from day one.

    Very often, because the cards are not clickable and cannot be used as filters, I resort to replacing cards with a one row pivot table. But the fact that I cannot align the values to the center makes it very UGLY.

    Agreed, the formatting should be standard functionality and this already exists in OTBI. Given that my leaders are already used to seeing data formatted properly in PivotTables, it is really disappointing to tell them I can't format the alignment. It makes the visualizations look more professional.

    I agree on this point too, some canvas are quite ugly with center justifications possible on number's title but not on graphs.

    Much needed feature. It'll add so much values to the existing product stack. Upvoted.
