I can place a <div> or <span> element within the generated <td> tages of an Interactive Report. This allows me to do whatever is needed, e.g. change the font, colorize the cell, etc. However, doing this, breaks all of the other built in features of the IRR, e.g. filtering, sorting, etc. The reason is that now the sorted value is the entire string "<div class="myClass">1,234,5678</div>" rather than simply 12345678. This seems like such a simple thing but, the lack of any (apparent) way to do this is leading to all sorts of crazy gyrations to get a usable report. For example, I can set the classes on the <td> elements with some really crazy (and expensive) JavaScript loops but, this is just waaaaay too slow when there are a large number of columns and/or rows.
Is there any other mechanism, e.g. manipulating a template, that would allow us to specify additional class for the <td> elements?
