Styling a key stats table

The finance department head loved the key stats table you created for them previously. However, being a big fan of Excel, he has requested some additional formatting of the table.

Specifically, he has requested:

  • All the cell contents should align on the left.
  • The background of the cells should be black with white text.

from dash import Dash, dcc, html, Input, Output, callback
import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd
from dash_ag_grid import AgGrid
ecom_sales = pd.read_csv('/usr/local/share/datasets/ecom_sales.csv')

key_stats_tb = ecom_sales.groupby(['Country','Major Category', 'Minor Category'])['OrderValue'].agg(['sum', 'count', 'mean']).reset_index().rename(columns={'count':'Sales Volume', 'sum':'Total Sales ($)', 'mean':'Average Order Value ($)'})

money_fmt = {"function": ("params.value.toLocaleString('en-US', {style: 'currency', currency: 'USD'})")}
column_defs = [
  {"field": "Country"},
  {"field": "Major Category"},
  {"field": "Minor Category"},
  {"field": "Total Sales ($)", "valueFormatter": money_fmt},
  {"field": "Average Order Value ($)", "valueFormatter": money_fmt},
