Steps to format all the metrics on a report

This layer of formatting overrides metric level formatting and in turn is overwritten by report metric level formatting. For details on all the levels of metric formatting, see Formatting metrics on a report.

1. Open the report containing the metric to be formatted.

   • Open it in the Report Editor

   • To format metrics on a template, open the report in the Template Editor.

2. You can format either the data values or the header of the metrics.

   • To format the data values, do one of the following to access the Format Cells dialog box:

   • On the Format menu, point to All Metrics and select Data.

   • Right-click any metric, point to Formatting, select All Metrics, and then select Data.

   • To format the headers, do one of the following to access the Format Cells dialog box:

   • On the Format menu, point to All Metrics and select Headers.

   • Right-click any metric, point to Formatting, select All Metrics, and then select Headers.

3. Format the metric. For specific instructions, choose from the following:

   • Format a number

   • Format the alignment

   • Format the font

   • Format the pattern

4. To retain the new formatting, save the report. (How?)
