Renders measure values as Markdown in data table columns using Mustache. The markdown parameter is not a format value. Use it when you want a table visualization to render a column as Markdown (for example bold text, links, or images) using a Mustache template filled with each row’s values.
  • format controls standard number, currency, and percentage display for the measure.
  • markdown renders a Mustache template as formatted text (bold, links, images) in table cells.

​
Syntax

<measure_name>:
  markdown: "<mustache_template>"

​
Properties

​
measure_name
object
The name of the measure.

​
Behavior

  • When you add a with markdown to a query and use a table chart, Omni merges the template into the column’s display settings so cells render as Markdown by default. In the table visualization’s Display tab, you can customize the Markdown template and CSS, then use the Promote button to save those changes to the workbook model.
  • Mustache can reference value, raw, and value_url_encoded for the current field, and {{view_name.field_name.value}} (and related properties) for other fields in the row.
  • Referenced fields are included in the query automatically when needed.
For how format and markdown interact, see the Formatting values guide.
Dashboard text tiles and standalone Markdown chart types are separate from field markdown, which applies to workbook data tables for modeled fields.

Label the aggregated value

ecomm__orders.view
measures:
  order_count:
    sql: '"order_id"'
    aggregate_type: count_distinct
    markdown: "**{{ecomm__orders.order_count}}** orders"
orders.view
measures:
  sale_price:
    sql: '"price"'
    aggregate_type: sum
    markdown: "[{{orders.sale_price.value}}](https://example.com/explain?q={{orders.price.value_url_encoded}})"
