Thank you so much @Wai Mee CHONG 😊 - I had no idea!  I figured it would just "stick" with one selection and carry over to the others.  Back to editing!

Hi @Wai Mee CHONG​ I replicated the format across the time options.  When I have 'Current Month' selected, however, and change time periods - say from May21 to Apr21, the formatting does not stick.  Seems odd that I would need to format each time period for each option.  Is there a way to make the report a 'master template' of some sort and have the formatting stick that way maybe?  Thank you! 😊

Hi @Jenny Franklin, Do you have the screen shot to show how does the formatting changed? i uses 'Months' like the 1st & 2nd screenshots below. 

Do you compare same month in different years for few metrics like cost, forecast?  i do have an issue using the 'Months' selection. The sequence of the months were out of order when we compare a few metrics like cost vs forecast for one period selection eg, monthly. Apptio team advise to include a 'Year (Years 1,-1)' filter but this only resolved for months to show in one year. If you want this to show for multiple years it will back to the out of order issue. Wish to know a smarter way if there is

Hi @Wai Mee CHONG we're using Current Month, Months Year To Date, Year To Date, and Annual.  I sort of recall the issue you're speaking of, but thought it was fixed because I haven't run across it again.  When I use one of the four selections previously mentioned, they seem to show up in order.  My only issue now is it doesn't keep the formatting period over period.  No idea why that's happening. 🤦‍♀️  You'll notice in the images attached that May 2021 is in a nice (and saved) format, but when I move to June 2021, we lose the Set Column Width that we had applied to all of the columns.😢

Hi @Jenny Franklin, i tried the same in my report for current month and it has the same issue like you. i have this issue only when i switched to a different year for monthly but other than that the format stays. 

Hmm... i am sorry i can't help much. Probably this is something need to be enhanced or fixed ...
