You can create a straight table on the sheet you are editing.

  2. Click Add columns to add items to the table. A dropdown will open:

    • Fields & master items: Opens a searchable dialog box displaying every field and master item. You can choose to add any item as a dimension or measure.
    • Custom expression: Opens a dialog box where you can type in an expression, or open the expression editor Open Expression editor.
  3. In the properties panel, under Data, click Open Add data asset menu to add more dimensions or measures to the table.

  4. As needed, further manage the table data in the Data tab of the properties panel. You can:

    • Under Alternative columns, add alternative columns that users can add to the table when using chart exploration.

    • Click the checkbox next to any item. Click Tools to perform actions such as cut, paste, and delete. Click the checkbox next to Columns or Alternative columns to select all items in the list. Use the arrow icons to move items between each section.

    • Change the column order by clicking Draggable column next to a field or expression and dragging the item.

After you have created the table, customize it by modifying its properties in the properties panel. See:
