AnalyticalTable: include empty rows in AnalyticalTableVisibleRowCountMode.Auto

[ej612]

Describe the bug

Hi there,

We have an AnalyticalTable that we want to grow with its container, i.e. it's supposed to take up all available vertical space by adding blank rows. From the docs, it seems to me that this is what AnalyticalTableVisibleRowCountMode.Auto is supposed to do:

"Auto": The number of visible rows displayed depends on the height of the surrounding container.

However, that doesn't work for me. I have created a sandbox:

Expected behavior

The red container has a fixed height and should be completely covered by the table, i.e. no red should be visible.

Actual behavior

The table adds only exactly 3 blank rows, whether I use Auto or Fixed.

Am I doing it wrong? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi @ej612

the table will only fill the content of non empty rows (visible rows). You can control how many empty rows you always want to show by using the minRows prop.

Hi @Lukas742

Thanks a lot for your response. I should have given you more context: Our AnalyticalTable is inside a resizable dialog, which means the available vertical space is not known beforehand. I therefore don't think setting minRows does the trick for me. Let me explain:

• I have a table with 2 data rows.
• The container is big enough for the table to fit 10 rows, so if I had 15 data rows, the table would show 10, and add a scrollbar for the remaining 5.
• I don't want to hardcode something like minRows=25, because it makes no sense for a scrollbar to be shown and as the user scrolls down, all there is is empty rows.
• I would therefore, if I have 2 data rows, and the table has enough space to show 10, like the table to add exactly 8 blank rows.
  Is there a way to do this currently? And if not, could I request a new AnalyticalTableVisibleRowCountMode.Fill to be added that does this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi @ej612

this is a valid feature request as this behavior makes sense and is also present in the SAP/OpenUI5 table. I am now reopening this issue and making it a feature request. I hope you don't mind that I have updated the title accordingly.
