Guide
Table is one of the four visualization types for Reports.
A table visualization allow you to show the selected data source as columns of information.
For Tables, the visualization pane looks like this:
Parameters
As well as choosing the parameters to be used for the table columns, you can also define one or more parameters for hierarchically grouping the data.
Column parameters
For the table column, it is possible to resize the column width, and to choose whether an aggregation value should be shown at the bottom of the column.
Visual encoding
The cells in a column can be visually encoded.
This includes both static coloring, i.e. all cells in the column have the same color, or (for numerical parameters) dynamic encoding, i.e. the opacity of the color highlighting, or the size of a colored line/bar depends upon the cell value.
Pivot and sparkliness
If the column parameter is a number type, then it is possible to break down the data according to another parameter. This allows you to create another dimension to your table.
For example, imagine Tasks have an Effort value associated with them, and also have a Completion date field. You could have the Task owner as one column, and SUM([Effort]) as the second column, and then pivot the second column according to Completion date. This would allow you to see how the effort of completed tasks varies over time for each owner.
The breakdown can be shown as numbers, lines or bars.
Data review
You can review the raw data on which the table has been built by clicking on a row within the table and clicking on Data.
From here you can also export the source data to CSV.
