Data Table — map series column headers

Share an idea

Hi,

There is limited control over the data table in maps. Specifically the series column header names. Martin and I had a previous email exchange regarding this behaviour back in January 2023.

  1. In the data tab we have a specific name for the series

  1. In the data table it shows as “Series 1” instead.

  1. The only way I have been able to change the Series name is by adding in the following code and turning off Exporting > Use Multi Level Headers and Use Rowspan Headers. I have not tested this with a category map where there are 2 series.
Highcharts.merge(true, options, {
	exporting: {
        csv: {
            columnHeaderFormatter: function (item, key) {
                if (!item || item instanceof Highcharts.Axis) {
                    return 'Health region'
                }
                return {
                    columnTitle: '2021 per 10,000 population'
                };
            }
        }
	}
});

It would be great if there was an Advanced menu item for the data table.

Hi Kerry,

Very surprising data table doesn’t appear in the adv. menu. Good suggestion, I will pass that on.

Your observation about the mismatch of series names between the data grid and data panel has been reported now. Internal ref.: #1431

For anyone else reading this, here is a help article on using the data panel. Lots of good options there for adding and organizing data.
