Second Theme for crosstab export

Avatar
Marcel Reinert

I have defined a certain design for a crosstab (black background and white font), matching the customer design of the frontend. Is it possible to define a different theme for the same table just for the export, so that it is more legible in Excel?

TIA

Marcel

    Hi Marcel,

    You cannot have two themes directly on the same crosstab.

    Consider this work around instead:

    • You have a document with a dashboard with a crosstab that users should be able to export.
    • In the same document, you create an additional Layout (an "Export" layout), holding a copy of the crosstab.
    • In the Export layout, the crosstab has been unlinked (in the Object list) and has been formatted with a different "Export" theme.
    • In the original layout, you create a button/image/icon next to or on top of the crosstab. This could be a Menu with a single menu item or it could be simply a Text box with text or an image. To this button you apply a trigger that does the export to Excel of objects on the "Export" layout.

    Thanks for your idea, I will take that into consideration. In order to prevent the user from downloading the “wrong” design via right-click mouse, I have to deactivate the interaction in the table, which in turn leads to the loss of the drill option. I'll discuss which is more important.
