I have a pivot table with 10 columns. I would like to apply borders to say only 2 out of those 10 columns. Option to apply only left-side or right-side border. Is that currently possible on Quicksight?

I’m sorry @Anirudh_Rao, this functionality currently isn’t possible. I’ve noted this in our internal feature request tracker.

Are there any updates on this feature request? This has been an item my org’s stakeholders have been requesting for a couple of years.

@Imran_Burki , Is there any update on this feature, we are looking for this feature as a priority item. Could you please respond?? Its been around 2 years right? so this could have been there if its already considered as feature request. If its still not there , is there any alternate approach that we can implement this ?
