Increase the font size of your table charts to make them easier to read if you display your dashboards on monitors or print them out.

Show border

Shows a visible border around the chart. This border will create a separation between the chart and dashboard elements that surround it.

Show column aggregation for numeric columns

Aggregates the values of each numeric column and presents the results in a column aggregation.

The default aggregation is sum.

You can change the aggregation type for a specific column (for example, average instead of sum) by adding a new formatting rule in the Formatting tab.

If you want some of the aggregation columns to be treated as text and exclude them from the aggregation column, you can simply cast them as text using a custom formula.

Show column aggregation at the top

Available when Show column aggregation of numeric columns is selected

Makes the aggregation the first column of the chart

The totals column always displays at the bottom or top of the chart (depending on your selection), even if all the columns don’t fit in the available chart space.

Word wrap automatically

Wraps the cell’s contents if it is longer than the cell width (for example, a cell containing a long email message); otherwise, the contents may truncate.
