Hopefully, you got things all sorted out in that last session.
Yes. Pun intended.
For this tenth edition, let's try and make that table visual look a bit easier on the eyes.
I do not care too much about table looks until well into the design. We have reached a bit of a milestone though.
Go ahead and jump right into "Edit" mode with your report and select your table visual.
Remember that when the visual is selected, all of the columns chosen for that visual will appear within the Visualizations pane.
Looking at top of that pane, there should be 3 icons. The first is selected by default.
Hover over the second icon and it says, "Format your visual."
Click it!
A list of options appears, the first of which is "Style presets"
Click the little ">" appearing next to that and a drop-down appears for "Style."
Try them all out and see which one brings you the greatest satisfaction.
I tend to lean on "Alternative rows" for everything.
After you decide on one that makes you happy, notice the choice underneath.
"Reset to default" will restore all changes for "Style presets" back to their original state.
Each of the choices in this arena have that option, which can be very helpful at times, if you just want to start over with one piece of the formatting.
Play with all of the options in this panel, if you like. We are not going to cover them just now. In the interest of keeping you as captivated as humanly possible, it will better deal with them, when we actually need them.
That is all we have for this week. Happy formatting!
