Grouping in DataPilots
The problem
There is a nice a convenient grouping feature for Data Pilots that is unfortunately not easily discoverable.
Proposal
It should be possible to access this function using the contextual menu.
The contextual menu for a DataPilot counts fewer items than the regular context menu (7 menu entries, 1 separator / 10 menu entries, 4 separators ), so adding one more entry should be acceptable.

Formatting in DataPilot
The problem
Because formatting of data pilots is Style-based, every data pilot of a same file will have the same formatting. This is a problem when you need to have plain numbers and percentage, for instance. This problem is made worse by the fact that refreshing of a dataPilot overwrites direct formatting.
