    Who's your daddy and what does it do? 🙂

    First, create a UD8 member that will just return the current POV account name with type DynamicCalc and Member Formula as follows:

    If api.View.IsAnnotationType Then
    ' if you wanted to target a specific view you could use this instead:
    ' if api.POV.View.Name.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("Annotation") then
       return api.POV.Account.Description

    First and last columns are up to you, just set the central one like this:

    And that's it! You can play around with formatting to emphasize the central column.

    PS: there may be a way to do this with custom DataCell functions, without the extra UD8 member, but I couldn't get it to work because the returned cell is always treated as a number for some reason.
