💡 Tips

  • A first sheet and a first dashboard are also created in the Samples folder in the Private section of the user.

🎊 New feature : Multi-columns

A multi-column is a group of columns that you can fold and unfold. For example, in the financial industry, multi-columns are mainly used to display the temporal evolution of a specific parameter such as the dividends or the volatility of a stock (see video below).

Multi-columns have vertical and horizontal aggregations :

  • Vertical aggregation : It is the same for all the columns of the group. Each column have an aggregation result at the bottom of the grid
  • Horizontal aggregation (or reduction) : Each row have an aggregation result in the column “Sum reduction”

💡 Tips

  • In this first version, only SUM aggregation is available for both vertical and horizontal aggregations
  • In this first version, filtering features are not available for multi-columns
