Pivot Table

One Value

This example will walk you through how to create a simple pivot table when you’re breaking down one value across multiple dimensions.


  1. Add discrete fields to either Rows or Columns. These are the groups that you want to aggregate your value by. You can have as many groups as you’d like.
  1. Add a continuous, aggregated field to the Text channel.

Multiple Values

This example will walk you through how to create a simple pivot table when you’re breaking down multiple values across multiple dimensions.


  1. Add discrete fields to either Rows or Columns. These are the groups that you want to aggregate your value by. You can have as many groups as you’d like.
  1. Add the system-generated Measure Values to the Text channel. After you do this, you’ll see that the Measure Values shelf appears.
  1. Now you can add as many continuous, aggregated values as you’d like in the Measure Values shelf.
  1. Lastly, add Measure Names to either Rows or Columns. Each cell currently only supports one mark, so by default the values are drawn on top of each other; adding Measure Names will ensure that each field in your Measure Values shelf is now its own group.
