[Feature] Draw table cells also for "empty" cells [message #1463236]

Scenario:
* Create a cross-table
* Define an intersection mapping

Problem:
* We wanted to put some text/color the background of those cells that do not have a matching object. Unfortunately this is impossible, because all layout settings are ignored for "non-matching" cells.

Desired feature:
* Also evaluate label expression, background colors etc for cells that do not have matching semantic element. Potentially a user is not requiring this semantic element to be present, but he could be diriving this from the line's or column's semantic object.

Workaround:
As a workaround, we could return a valid semantic object for each column anyway and then use the intersection mapping to evaluate the presence/absence of a real intersection. This feels unnatural to the user imho.

Hi.

Thanks for the feedback; could you open a Bugzilla issue [1] for this?
Feature requests are tracked and discusses there, not in the forum.

Thanks in advance.

Did you try to add styles on column and line mappings ? [1][2][3]
Note that the line style has the priority on the column style. And if
there is a cell corresponding to an intersection, the style of the
intersection mapping is used.
You also have the possibility to define conditional styles for Line,
Column and Intersection mappings.
