Changing color for individual column header in a straight table

[#1]

Hi.

If you need customise labels in a straight table and for some reasons you can't use pivot table, I have prepared this little trick. This solution is not very friendly and have few limitations but maybe it will inspire someone to prepare better solution.

How can you achieve such an effect?

Source table:

1. Adding dimension to a Straight table

=ValueList($(=Chr(39) & concat( F1, Chr(39) & ',' & chr(39)) & Chr(39)),'Label')

We use values from field F1 and add value 'Label' for name of dimension

To use function ValueList we have to concat values from field F1.

I have used this trick from this topic. @https://community.qlik.com/thread/135024

2. In first expression we can use this logic

IF(ValueList($(=Chr(39) & concat( F1, Chr(39) & ',' & chr(39)) & Chr(39)),'Label')='Label','Column 1',

SUM(If(F1=ValueList($(=Chr(39) & concat( F1, Chr(39) & ',' & chr(39)) & Chr(39)),'Label'),W1)))

If dimension is equal to our added value, we can put name of our label for this expression.

In above expression I sum other values.

3. In Presentation tab we check 'supress header row'

4. In Sort tab in first dimension we use 'Load order - Reversed'

5. Finally, we can customise our labels in first row.

For example if we want to change background, we can change it in expression properties:

=if(ValueList($(=Chr(39) & concat( F1, Chr(39) & ',' & chr(39)) & Chr(39)),'Label')='Label',Yellow(),10)
