Create Tables

You can view data in a tabular format rather than as a chart. Create a table from an existing visualization, or make a new one.

Tip: Switching to table mode on an existing chart allows you to preview the underlying data.

Create a Table From a Visualization

  1. Open an existing report.

  2. In Guided Mode, select table. Visualizer converts the existing chart to a table.

  3. Click Save As and save the table with a new name.
  4. Continue formatting the table.

Create a New Table

  1. If Visualizer is not already empty, click Create a new chart.

  2. From Guided Mode, select table. The Chart Builder prompts you to add attributes and measures. For tables, all measures and attributes are put in the Columns section.

  3. Drag and drop measures and attributes to the table from the Subject Area.  

  4. Click Save to name and save the new table.
  5. Continue formatting the table.

Create a Break By Report

  1. Select the column attribute for which you want to create sections.

  2. Click the down arrow to view additional actions, then select Break By. The report creates a subsection based on the selected Break By attribute.

    Note: You can expand and collapse all Break By sections.

  3. Tips:
    • Below the table, Visualizer displays the number of returned rows.
    • By default, Visualizer limits the number of rows to 100. This is for convenience while designing as well as for performance reasons. You can change this in the Top N Results menu.
    • When there are many rows in a table, Visualizer automatically adds a scroll bar. The size of the scrolling area is based on the size of your browser window.
    • By default Visualizer adds a Grand Summary at the bottom of measure columns. To enable this option, click Table Settings → Grand Summary → Column Summary.
    • If the text or number in a column exceed the column width, you can hover over the column and a tooltip displays the full text or number.
    • Visualizer has a limit of 50,000 rows for tabular data.
