Epic idea: Improved values for tabular visuals

[Miguel_Myers]

The current single-value cell format in tables and matrices restricts the full utilization of information, leading to a lack of clarity and context for end users. An idea worth considering is the introduction of a multi-value cell format for matrix visuals, which would allow for the display and analysis of more complex information within a single cell, and customizable formatting options could further enhance the visual presentation.

I've achieved this with visual calculations. The problem is there is no alignment. The reference value is not shown when the main and reference values are the same. So one cell may have content "123" and others "124 (148)". The brackets are used to indicate it's a reference value. It's not ideal to put it in a separate column as that generates extra furniture while the second value should have less emphasis. So ideally, there would be a layout where the two values are horizontally inline, but also have alignment that forms two separate columns. This would differ from two actual columns by not generating a second title, borders between the items, etc.
