Configure Custom Headers for Exported XLSX Files
The configuration of XLSX custom report headers is available through Platform Settings and GoodData API for workspace Administrators only.
You can customize the headers used in the XLSX exports of insights and dashboards in each of your workspaces.
You can add up to 5 headers (rows) to your XLSX files, each displayed on a separate row. By default, the XLSX file has no headers predefined.
You can specify XLSX headers through:
- Platform Settings
- GoodData API
For general information about exporting, see Export Insights and Export Dashboards.
Adding Headers Through Platform Settings
Steps:
Access Platform Settings. For details, see Configure Various Features via Platform Settings.
In the Config section at the bottom of the page in the Key field, type
exporter.ExcelExport.CustomHeader.N
where N<=5 and specifies the number of the row.For Value, type what you want to display in the header. You can use text or macros (see Macro References below).
If you leave the Value empty, the header row is removed.
If you want to add an empty row in the header, type an empty space as the Value.
Click Create config.
Log in to the GoodData Portal and verify that the headers export correctly.
Adding Headers Through GoodData API
