Reports: We'd Love Groovier Header Rows

Operational Reporting

The group header rows in Summary Reports can be frustrating; they're unnecessarily thick, and they don't alternate colors like detail rows can. How about making it possible to show group header rows the same way we can show detail rows--skinnier and more colorfully?

We've developed a product named Report Builder that enables you to easily configure and save the format of your Salesforce report output (in addition to a number of other cool features). The app is free to use and there is no installation necessary.

Allow us to define what colors we want to use for the display. It would be better to be able to define unique colors for each level vs just alternating to make it easier to view and print. Allow the user to control how they want to see the display.

on top black and white printer friendly colours would be nice

I'm not so bothered about the colours, however for the times when we do need to extract in printable view, and we want the structure of a Summary report the row's don't line up, so you need to do significant formatting in order to use the data.

Also with the summaries on the same row as the group name, so when you export to Excel they are on the same row!!! Color and other formatting control would be so rockin too.

Particularly with the Excel Office Component, it would be nice if the values didn't skip to the next row. This makes VLOOKUP impossible when having a main tab that summarizes data in the workbook.

Some things just make sense, and this idea is one of those things.

I do get a lot of complaints about the way reports look......to the extent that we end up writing something in an external system to pull the data out of SF and spit it back out again in a report that is very close to what salesforce can do, but more pleasing to the eye.

I think it'd be interesting too if we could control the colors on the Columns when you run join reports...Account Column headers in Blue, Opportunity Column headers in SFDCORange...

It would also be good to make the row count display be configurable for each report - provide a check box to display or not display. Reports are not very attractive when presented with Hide Details on, especially when the Row Count wraps in the first column and makes the lines wider than they need to be
