Add extra header in Matrix

Hi.

 

Is it possible to add an extra header in a matrix like below (Excel)? For the monthly figures I would like a header saying "Month" and so on. Should I add an extra structure or how can it be done?

Hi @HLVW 
you can add Title and sub tiltle from general setting.

Hi @Uzi2019 .

 

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. As far as I can see, I can only add one subtitle for the matrix and in my case I need to add 3: Month, YTD and Full Year. These needs to be placed above the relevant values.

Hi @HLVW 
It is quite not possible to have multiple sub title for single table. 
Once thing you can do is to add either seperate table for month /YTD/ Full year. adjust prperly so it will look like single table.

 

Or you can just add text box on top of the header. I hope you dont have any horizontal scrolling.

Hi @Uzi2019 

 

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I have thought about making seperate tables, but the rows in the matrix are account no. and I am only showing accounts with values - so the rows will vary from table to table. 

 

A text box on top will also be difficult as the values will be in different places depending on the expansion of the matrix... It is not easy 🙂
