I’m using a power table and one of the columns is boolean data. This by default shows a tick box icon either in the ticked or unticked state depending on the data. Is there a way I can not show this and just use ‘Yes’ / ‘No’?

Without modifying the query, is there way such as using the configureCell extension function to remove the icon and replace with text?

So, you already found the answer. (:

Just return the desired string given the cell value, when called for that column.

Thanks Phil, I’ve tried that but I end up with the text next to the icon. is there a way to get rid of the icon?

You may also need to implement the configureEditor extension function. I hadn’t noticed a special case for booleans. /:
