Pivot-Table problem

Hello everybody,

recently, when trying to customize a pivot table to a customers needs I encuntered a problem. When moving two or more dimensions to the x-axis, there appears a gray box as placeholder in the upper left corner. It's even quite easy to reproduce:

The issue is now that it's obviously not possible to change the color of this box. Also when printing a report this box stays gray - which is a problem for our customer as he's very design-fixated.

Does anybody have a suggestion how to solve that?

Thanks a lot!

I haven't played with reports, but an ugly hack for the screen version is to create a white text box with no text that overlays the gray area.

Thanks for the suggestion, I thought about that already as well.

I also called QlikTech support now and they told me that this color can't be changed and there's nothing they can do about it - but they'll put a feature request.
