How to Change the Pivot Header Row Style with TransformPivot

This solution is based on Pivot 2.0 API supported in Sisense version L8.2.1 or later (not supported in Sisense for Windows).

For this solution, we shall use cellStyle from Pivot 2.0 API. The following options are available to adjust the cell style:

Name	Type	Description
fontSize	number or string	Text size
fontWeight	number or string	Text weight
fontStyle	string	Text style
lineHeight	string	Text line height
textAlign	string	Text alignment: 'left', 'right' or 'center'
color	string	Text color
backgroundColor	string	Cell background color
padding	number or string	Cell padding
borderWidth	number	Cell border width
borderColor	string	Cell border color (with CSS fallback)

Below I provide a widget script that identifies the first row in the pivot widget and utilizes transformPivot to replace the existing cell style with the new backgroundColor, color,  and textAlign. Other cellStyle parameters can be set as in the example script.

widget.transformPivot({},
    (metadata, cell) => {
        if (metadata.rowIndex === 0) {
            cell.style = cell.style || {};
            cell.style.backgroundColor = '#0057B7'; //sets cell background color
            cell.style.color = '#FFDD00'; //sets cell text color
            cell.style.textAlign = 'right'; //sets cell text align
        };
    }
);

To utilize the script, open the pivot widget in edit mode, use the three dots menu, and choose "Edit Script".

Paste the script, save the changes, and refresh the dashboard.

Enjoy the result!
