Re: Background color of Pivot Table Labels - Page 3 - Qlik Community

Report Inappropriate Content · ‎2012-02-07

I have a formula embedded in my Expression "Background" color option of a pivot table. Hence the data cell bg colors change corresponding to the value. Hence the column label bg color changes to the first color displayed in the column.

Can I change/override the bg column label color? I have tried the "View", "Design", "cell format"... but that is not working. Please advise.

as long as we can change the headers background color, that would be ok

Hello Ashok,

thanks again for you help, I found my mistake. I was using a Straight Table instead of a Pivot Table .

Now that I have changed it to a Pivot, it's working .

Thanks again for your help!

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hey folks,

thank you so much for all of your ideas, unfortunately I still am unable to change the column label background color. It is sooooo frustrating... the Expression bgcolor is such a wonderfull eye appeal to differentiating data quickly, but the customer is not at all amused that the column label changes based on the 1st color that results from the Expression bgcolor. Could we please ad this to the list of items to be addressed/fixed by QlikTech per my customer and my request. Thanks again for all of your help. How can I track this to know when it is fixed?

I think I have another solution if you need to code the colour value in Expression rather than use 'Visual Cues' as long as you are OK with having a Total row at the top.

Using Stephanie's original example remove the default colour value at the end of the If statement in the Background color definition and then select 'Show Partial Sums' in the Presentation tab.

As long as more than one cutomer is selected the colour chosen for the Header cell using Custom Formt Cell appears to remains in tact. Unfortunately the header cell takes on the colour of the row if only one customer is selected but this solution may work for some of your applications.

Hi,

Not perfect but if you switch from straight table to pivot table it might do what you want?

Cheers,

Hi Jagan,

""Instead of setting the background color using BackGround expression, try using the Visual Clues tab in chart properties. ""

very good, that works in my pivot table for all keyfigures, but not for dimensions. the dimension column is colored, until there is a line, where I do not have a value in the first keyfigure-column. this cell then keeps white.

thanks

Bernd
