Display grouped name in header

I’m making a year planner that is grouped by column “Måned”(Month) into 1-12.

When I for example click on 11 in the first image below, I go to the second view which is the second image below.

But there is no indication that it is showing which month is currently being showed.

Do I have to display month on each row or is there a clever workaround?

I use the group by _rownumber trick.

Hi @Ratatosk

The two screenshots you display are basically the same, you just ungrouped one, so in my opinion there is no better way.

One workaround could be to repeat the month name in the first header of the deck view. Something like:
CONCATENATE([Måned] &"-" & [label] )

Another workaround could be to use separate tables, with one having only the Month name, and linked to the current one with matching months. This way, months will be the “parent” item and you can display these in the header. Maybe too much for your purpose ?

Hi @Aurelien

Thank you for the input.

I was fearing that. I think I’ll have to showcase the month in each row.

You could try the following.

Please include the “Arsplan” table view in a dashboard view as a single view within that dashboard. Please do not have the dashboard view as an interactive dashboard.

Please name the dashboard view as “Arsplan” and the previous "“Arsplan” table view’s display name as " "

You will get the desired behaviour.

Wow ! I didn’t know that trick, thanks @Suvrutt_Gurjar
@Ratatosk that’s exactly what you were asking for

Hi @Aurelien ,

Even I came across it today while experimenting to respond to @Ratatosk ’ s requirement.

As with any workaround it is 90 % good, if in a rare case the user goes to the individual table view by tapping that two-way expand arrow in the dashboard view 's right-hand top corner, the group display by month will obviously be lost.

But that will be a very rare case I believe becaue the user will always see just one view in the dashboard, unlike typical dashboards.

So this is how it looks

First Group by Screen

Second screen shows the group by header

Just in case the user tries to expand the dashboard view, the user will go to normal table view. However, I believe that will be very rare.

Thank you Suvrutt_Gurjar!

Apologies for the late reply. This worked adequate.
