I am using a simple matrix with Month (text) Columns and Year (Integer) Rows and a decimal value for Values. There is no "Alignment" option anywhere under Field Formatting or Column Headers. I am trying to get my values and headers to center align and I know I have done this before with a matrix but there must be some prerequisite to this alignment feature being available because it's sure not showing up now. Anybody have any suggestions?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@alogan ,
I'm not able to reproduce your issue. The alignment can be changed in the column header formatting section as below:

Yes VasTg there is sometimes.. but there's not now. It may have something to do with what data types I'm using? I know different features are available or unavailable dependent on data types, categorical/continuous x axis or whatever so maybe there is something I am needing to adjust elsewhere to make this feature appear. As I mentioned.. I HAVE used this alignment feature before but not sure what is different now that is not allowing that feature to be usable.
