Table view - Horizontally merge column header cells and keep label visible when scrolling horizontally
As DE user,
I want the column header cells (except last column header row) to be merged horizontally when neighboured cells are generated from the same dimension item,
So that there is less text repetition.
Specifications
- In .Stat DE table view, when 2 or more dimensions are positioned on the Column axis, and if 2 or more horizontally neighboured cells have the same value (dimension item), then these cells are merged.
- Merging is not applied to cells that have different cells in rows above them, thus never to cells in the last (lowest) column header row.
- Even though centred by default, the column header labels of merged cells should - whenever the table width is larger than the width of the table display space - move sufficiently within the cell to the left or right in order to stay visible even when scrolling horizontally. See an example mock-up of the expected behaviour for a dynamic label placement here: FlyingText.zip
- These features are not to be applied to the html WCAG table.
Example with one column positioned 1st
Example with 2 columns positioned 1st and 2nd
