Concept: Formatting Styles
You can create formatting styles or use styles provided by Workday to gain more control
over the look of the cells, columns, and rows in your composite report. You can apply
formatting to composite reports you export to Excel or view in your browser.
When you export the report to PDF, Workday retains all formatting styles for the report, except
column width and row height. Workday supports row outlining in PDFs if you expand the
rows on the initial display.
In addition to formatting styles, you can:
- Control other display options in the report, such as hiding columns or rows.
- Include blank columns or rows.
- Override the style and visibility of a column, row, or cell, including calculation, data, or empty cells.
- Use analytic indicators.
When using formatting styles, you can't:
- Apply numerical formatting because Workday treats numerical characters in the control field column as text.
- Create report-specific styles.
- View conditional formatting or all formatting styles on mobile devices.
