Show the table cell value in a list form

I have this table below where in additions column, sometimes I have more than 10 records. I want to add a button for each cell value instead of text. So that on clicking the button, I can read the cell values. 

As of now, I have to hover over the cell and read the whole value which makes it difficult to read if I have more values.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

If I understand correctly, you should be able to achieve this by using the Matrix visual and then adding the "Additions" field into the Matrix visual's "Row" field.  Add the "Additions" column underneath the primary field you already have as the first column.  Once you do this, you can go to the "Format" option of the visual and turn on the +/- Icons like below:

Hope this helps!

Hi Theo

 

Thanks for your suggestion! I do not want my table to get converted to matrix form.

 

I have a table where Addition is a column having more than 5 comma separated value for each row. I want a button/icon for each row. When hover over on that, the comma separated values are shown in a list format (like tool tip)

 

 

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Can you provide an example of the data you're using? 

 

And can you provide an example of the output you want?

 

Thanks heaps,

Theo
