Measures format

Hi,

I think that the possibility to define a Measure format (e.g. "money", "integer", "%", etc) on the server side would be very useful.

Alternatively, it could be useful to have the possibility to define each Measure format (taking e.g. Excel styles) in the "Paste View" window, while Palo has currently only one "_data" cell style for data cells.

Please support this request, I'm sure everyone would take a great benefit on the usability side.

RE: Measures format

Yes

Like TM1 has a default format you can apply to dimension elements. The format used depends on the layout of the report, with the row selection taking precedence if I recall correctly.

It would certainly make life a lot easier if currency data could be formatted differently from Margin % and from volumes
