You beat me to it - i've done this before to great effect. It also works well as a way to have a grid column with a pictographic header instead of text (like one instance where I have a column of document icons for downloading a document, and the column header is a floppy disc unicode icon).

Yeah I'm applying over this rule for the data in that column...

if(
rule!APN_isEmpty(
ri!columnText
),
char(9940),
ri!columnText
)

If the field is blank use char(9940) which will give you the "Do Not Enter" Sign Unicode Character.

Did you apply the suggestion given my joseph ? If yes, kindly share the code snippet for reference.

Actually that's a great suggestion.

Thanks josephp866!

You can use unicode characters with a!gridTextColumn() as a workaround. Here's an example:

Currently, as far as I am aware, Appian does not support this outside of editable grids. Your idea of using an image with the text in it is clever and should work though.
