The Data Display Option empowers authors with the capability to create unique text for data shown in a document.
This functionality is important for several reasons.

Emphasis on Key Points: You can highlight and emphasize the most important aspects of the data, guiding the reader’s attention to critical findings or trends.
Tailored Communication: Different audiences may require different levels of detail or focus. The custom text allows you to tailor the presentation to meet the specific needs of your audience, whether they are technical experts, regulatory bodies, or stakeholders.
