Pivot table
Pivot tables are charts that enable you to explore an alternate visualization of your data in a wide, customizable table. With pivot tables, you can use the same table to visualize some of your data horizontally, and some data vertically.
If you would like to visualize your search as a pivot table, click on the change visualization icon 
near the top right of your screen, and select pivot table.
You need at least one attribute and one measure in your search.
You can restructure your pivot table by dragging and dropping the measures and attributes under edit chart configuration 
, or by dragging and dropping column headings on the table itself.
If you right-click a row or column heading, the system displays a contextual menu, allowing you to exclude or include values, drill down, show underlying data, SpotIQ analyze, or sort.
If you right-click a table cell, the system displays the contextual menu, so you can exclude or include values, drill down, show underlying data, or SpotIQ analyze.
Sort
To sort any column or row, right-click on a row or column heading or subheading or a measure or attribute name and select Sort. You can also sort from the search bar. Type sort by <column name> [ascending | descending].
You can sort a pivot table in many different ways; however, there are several limitations to the sorting experience.
Expanding or contract columns and rows
Click on a column or row heading to expand it. Additionally, you can expand or collapse all columns and rows by right-clicking the arrow on the top left of a cell.
When you pin a pivot table to a Pinboard, it retains your expansion settings.
Display data as a percentage of the total
You can see your data as a percent of a row or column total, or as a percent of the grand total. Grand totals aggregate all the data in your pivot table.
To see your data as a percent, click the edit chart configuration icon, and click settings at the bottom of the chart configuration panel.
Click on the dropdown menu to choose whether you want to see your data as a percent of a row or column total, or as a percent of the grand total.
You only see 100% value when grand total rows is enabled. When it is disabled, the rows and columns have no parental total column, so the percentage cannot be calculated. All intermediate totals (columns or rows) display the percentage values calculated with respect to their parent. For each inner summary (column or row) the parental total values are assumed to be 100% internally.
Select Pivot Summaries in the Settings menu to see row and column totals.
Format row headers
You can view your row headers in a more compact (tree) layout. To turn on compact row headers, select Compact row headers in the Settings menu.
You can change the type of total shown for an aggregated measure from the header menu that appears when you click on a header’s more icon:
Heatmap mode
The heatmap functionality allows you to see which measures contribute more to the total than others within the table.
To turn on the heatmap, click the edit chart configuration icon, and click settings at the bottom of the chart configuration panel.
Select heatmap mode.
Pivot table limitations
The pivot table chart type has these limitations:
-
The pivot table displays a maximum of 100k rows. If your query returns more than 100k rows, you cannot visualize it with a pivot table.
-
You cannot use conditional formatting.
-
Pivot tables do not support use of group aggregation functions.
-
If the query the pivot table is based on contains the
toporbottomkeyword, column and row summaries are not accurate. -
You cannot filter aggregated columns or columns with aggregated formulas.
-
Pivot tables do not support cumulative functions.
-
Pivot tables do not support moving functions.
