Hi team, I have a question about showing attribute data in tables. I have a request from a customer to show the data in a 'wide' format instead of a 'long' format. Is this possible without changing the underlying data source? The issue with changing the underlying data source is that both 'Attribute' and 'Attribute Value' are user inputted values so we have 1000s of unique responses for each. Here's an example: (Long/Tidy):
Desired format (but without any data in attribute columns):

Hi Tim, Unfortunately, it's not possible to achieve your desired layout without adding it as a column. In your example, what you're trying to do can be accomplished in GoodData by adding the Attribute field to the Columns section of your table in the Analytical Designer. This setup will display your attribute values side by side, creating a "wide" layout. However, if your Attribute and Attribute Value fields are entirely dynamic and user-entered, with thousands of unique values, GoodData cannot automatically generate new columns for each unique response. The LDM defines which attributes exist.
