Pivot

The pivot table (Pivot) presents dimensions and measures as rows and columns in a table. In a pivot table you can analyze data by multiple measures and in multiple dimensions at the same time.

Information notePivot is included as a part of the Visualization bundle. Visualization bundle objects have additional limitations and may not have the same support as other visualizations. For more information, see Visualization bundle.

  • Headers for all dimensions

  • Header menu options for all dimensions

  • Custom null representation

  • Customizable column widths by pixel or percentage

  • Adjust column widths using mouse

  • Totals at top or bottom
