Help with Reporting functions and formatting

Sim75

Hi

 

I am reasonably good with alteryx and am now working on workflows which need to output into company specific formats which is a real challenge. Currently I have been outputting to Excel and then using a new reporting tab to consolidate/import the data into the correct format and then printing as a pdf.

 

I'd like to use alteryx to do it all and have started using the reporting functions. I can get the data into the general shape/layout but the formatting is proving difficult. Examples are adding borders to the tops of the totals, removing text for the total lines

Any help would be great

 

Thanks

 

Simon

Hi @Sim75 

 

These things are easily accomplished with Column or Row Rules within the Table tool. See attached updated workflow

Hi @Sim75 

 

Additional to @joshuaburkhow 's suggestion. You can create a column rule on group like below using a formula

Getting border is not possible but you will be able to change the row color by setting a row rule like below.
