Vertical & Horizontal Headers in Gallery

Posted on by Imadit

I'm looking for a way to display some information that requires both vertical and horizontal headers for a gallery table.

My app stores information on clothing styles. One function of the app is supposed to capture garment measurements that change during the development process. And it's best to get a view across the different stages to see where the changes are.

In short, a gallery that displays vertical and horizontal headers/labels like this:

Eventually would like to add a row or column, but ignore that for now. Just trying to get the data format correct.

So far I've tried using nested galleries, by having a horizontal gallery with the version (sample 1, sample 2, final), and a nested vertical gallery with the measurements that references the version. I can get columns 2-4 from the above image, but not the first column with row headers.

This is using a SP list with the following format:

Style | Version | Measurement Name | Measurement Value

Style would be linked to the "Styles" parent table.

Is this even possible? Any suggestions?

Have you considered using a table rather than a gallery? Or you can 'mock' the top axis labels by adding a colored rectangle and adding labels. You can add labels inside the gallery to make your left hand labels.

Thanks @JR-BejeweledOne .

Ultimately, I'd like to make each cell/value editable as an input, which is why I'm going for a gallery. My understanding is a table is just for output?

The goal was to have both axes dynamic. The screenshot above is a bit simplistic. The left hand labels will change for say shirt/pants/jacket. Also, Sample 2 might have an extra measurement at times, so will need an extra row, and I want to make sure the right value ties up with the correct measurement label.

But in the absence of a way to achieve both as being dynamic, I guess I can create static labels along the top as the sampling process is fairly similar every time, and nest off the left hand labels.

But is there a way to reference static labels from within a gallery?

So there'd be a nested gallery feeding off the left hand side labels. But then a column would still have to reference Sample 1, Sample 2, etc. Can I reference those outside labels for each column, from inside a gallery?
