Selections in pivot tables

In a pivot table, you make selections in the list that appears when you click a dimension item.

Dimension list during selection

The list displays the values from the chosen dimension. You can select fields by clicking or by drawing. All selected fields are marked green. To deselect a field, click it. To confirm a selection, click m or outside the visualization. You can also press Enter. To cancel, click E or press Esc. If you confirm, the selection is reflected in all objects related to the pivot table.

You cannot select dimension values that are null. Null values in a pivot table are presented as dashes (-). Rows without valid dimension values will not be included in the selection.

Information noteYou cannot make selections in measures.
