Hi VF,
Thanks for the quick response.
Alignment is a pretty basic reporting function used frequently in crafting reports. Having the ability to control that is almost as basic as needing to format the output.
Please be careful with hard coded alignments. Really it is the data and needs/purpose of the report that determines what look best. In many cases, text is left aligned, dates might be centered, and numbers are right aligned. Really though, it depends on the report itself.
What would be ideal is in the areas where format can be manipulated (editing cube, and report overrides) to have an "align" option next to "format" so each data element can be aligned for what is best for it. When not set, it could use the defaults you described.
Also, I really appreciate the CSS. I was going to attempt this today. Hopefully it'll be possible to get some things left aligned and some things right aligned as we need to. I'm also hoping to try and get the conditional formatting of cells using the expression option to be able to highlight cells outside of expected or desired values better. My attempts yesterday didn't work out, so I'm still working on that one. :)
Thanks again,
Greg
