Pivot Table

The Pivot Table is a highly flexible, interactive table visualization that summarizes and organizes large datasets. It allows you to arrange data dynamically into rows and columns, with configurable aggregation functions like Sum, Average, Min, Max, and more. Both traditional and virtualized rendering modes are available for handling large data volumes efficiently.

Key Features:

  • Group and aggregate data dynamically by rows and columns.
  • Customizable aggregation types: Sum, Avg, Min, Max, None.
  • Apply cell background coloring rules and per-row color customization.
  • Optional virtualized rendering for large data performance.
  • Control over row/column totals, sorting, layout, and header display.
  • Supports multiple measure fields.
  • Allows configuration of cell borders, fonts, text wrapping, and other styling.

Use Cases:

  • Dynamic cross-tab reports.
  • Financial data summaries.
  • Sales performance by region/product/customer.
  • Data matrix visualizations with totals and subtotals.
