is it possible to right align the percentage column (not just prices column?)
It looks like the only option like this is โaccounting formatโ and that only applies to prices. Maybe it should apply to percentages or numbers in general, though. @praveen what do you think?
Thanks for the quick reply, would make a big difference (at least to have the option to right align percentage and numbers), currently I m redoing the views with googlesheet filters since then the format looks professional ie, not having the formatting options could chase users away from using appsheet?
@Kim_Harford1 are you looking to right-align numbers in a table view? Adding @Morgan_Dixon_AppShee
Yes - at the moment I am looking to right align percentages in a table view, but probably also numbers.
@praveen Just plussing you, as not sure you received my reply thanks
On the todo list. Will try to do it over the break. ideally, could you put this into appsheet.com - Login - AppSheet โ weโre trying to do the top-voted features there. Login - AppSheet appsheet.com
Great thanks - its in the app
Any progress on this. I tried to change it from a question to a feature request by pressing on question, but I wasnโt able to do it?
@Kim_Harford I discussed with Praveen, and we agreed it makes sense to right-align all numeric columns in table views. In an app with a mix of prices, percentages and other numeric columns, it seems to make it much more readable, and this is more consistent with how Google Sheets and Excel display numbers by default. For backward compatibility weโll be adding this as a new option under UX / Options / Table View so it will be opt-in for existing apps, but will be on by default for new apps. The existing option that applies specifically to prices will be retained as a separate option that specifically right aligns only prices and also left-aligns the currency symbol.
Great news thanks
Ps I can imagine many cases where it is more appropriate to left-align numbers, but right-align percentages and vice versa (e.g. when you have negative numbers right-align makes sense, but for positive numbers (or percentages), left align looks better and right-align could look odd if the numbers are uneven)โฆIs it worth having an option to right-align percentages, or right-align numbers separately or both (rather than all numerics right-aligned or all numerics left-aligned?) (For me it doesnโt make much difference since most of my number fields are converted to text so the changes are great), but it could be a lot more useful separatelyโฆFormatting can determine whether a web-based app can be published or not.
how about for stuff like
250 gr
8 gr
1 lt
as used in recepies
reads really difficult if one cannot right align that
Iโm reading this thread for the first time. As I read, I thought that there might be instances where one is working with text but where centering would be a better default that putting everything on the left. If that were available as an option is would be nice.
