Columns

You will see the columns in the Pivot according to their order, in the Visualizations Panel.

You can perform the following operations on columns. 

Add a Column (Non-Summarized)

Pivot chart shows only the unique values of all the non-summarized columns. e.g. If ‘Assignee’ and ‘Type’ columns are added, then all unique values of Assignee and Type columns will be shown on the Pivot chart. 

• Drag the desired column from the Data Panel and drop it onto Visualizations Panel’s “Columns” section.

Note: You can also search the column name in the Data Panel to quickly find it.

Add a Column (Summarized)

You will see the aggregated values in the Pivot for the added column(s). 

1. Drag the desired column from the Data Panel and drop it onto Visualizations Panel’s  “Values” section.
2. Click on the  icon and select the aggregate function to summarize the data of this column. 

Note: You can add a maximum of 50 columns (including summarized and non-summarized) to a Pivot.

Edit Column Name

Remove Column
