Hello!

When I use DataPilot to add the result of a query in LibreOffice Calc. I cannot format the headers in the result, althought I can copy the format from other cell, through the format brush.

The problem is that the format sets to default when I update the table.

This is a feature which is in MS Excel and is a HUGE advantage to aesthetics and usefulness in creating a final product.  I feel Calc feels and looks archaic until this is implemented.

Persistent style formatting is important. Please add this feature!

example pivot table

Initially attached example shows error about not existing query. I created example pivot table according to this site:
http://voices.yahoo.com/using-libreoffice-calc-create-pivot-8987185.html
I changed color of different cells in pivot table. It remains after reloading.

Thanks for the great ODS example file!

I see what you mean by the formatting staying consistent when the content changes by the linked data and is refreshed.

However, what I am requesting is for the "header" cells to remain formatted after the "variables" from the drop-down menus are adjusted and the data is reordered.
