Description Milan Bouchet-Valat 2011-10-29 10:59:15 UTC
To tweak a data pilot table's Data field settings, one needs to right click on it, choose "Activate...", and then double-click on the variable in the Data field area. This is quite painful, especially if you want to successively show different types of % (row, column, total).

OTC, in Excel, and for many versions, double-clicking on the top-left cell is enough to show this dialog. This makes much sense:
- double-clicking on most cells in the table already performs an action (show the data)
- the top-left cell has a label describing what is measured in the table: it feels natural to allow changing this measure by double-clicking on it


This small detail could really make data pilot nicer to use.

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
