Single cell widget is now a visualization type

The single cell widget is now a visualization type and has several new capabilities. You can create a single cell visualization and convert it to a view (exploration) or another visualization and vice versa.

Like any other visualization, you can add a Single cell visualization to your book from Visualizations and drag a cube or view on to the template.

You can also create a Single cell visualization by right-clicking a view and selecting Add to sheet.

Note: Unless you select a specific cell in the view, when you add a Single cell visualization with this method, the visualization displays data from the first cell in the view.

When you select the Single cell visualization and go to the Fields tab, you can see dimensions and filters in their appropriate fields. You can also change the color palette for any conditional rules applied to the visualization and enable automatic refresh under the Visualization tab under Properties. Previously, fields and visualization properties were not available for the single cell widget.

Note: Any existing cell widgets in books from before Planning Analytics Workspace 2.0.81, will convert to the new single cell visualization with Field dimensions and visualization properties.

You can convert Single cell to another visualization or an exploration and vice versa. When you convert another visualization or view to a Single cell visualization, Single cell displays data from the first cell.

The new cell alignment option is also available for Single cell visualizations. Right-click a Single cell visualization to see cell alignment and other formatting options for the visualization.
