About an Aggregated Table Visualization

An Aggregated Table visualization provides a tabular view of your data with the ability to utilize aggregated granularity. Aggregation allows you to change the granularity of the data provided in the table. You are able to utilize aggregations such as sum, average, min, etc. You can configure various properties for measures, dimensions, filters, and settings for the Aggregated Table insight.

Configurable Properties of an Aggregated Table Insight in the Analyzer

The available trays for an Aggregated Table insight within the Insight panel are:

Grouping Dimension: Add a column or formula to this tray to group the Aggregated Table data.
Measure: Add a column or formula to this tray to include it as a column in the Aggregated Table.
Individual Filter: Add a column or formula to this tray to filter individual dimension values in your Aggregated Table.
Aggregated Filter: Add a column to this tray to filter measures by aggregate values in your Aggregated Table.
Distinct Filter: Add a column to this tray to filter your Aggregated Table to show only distinct rows. This tray is available only when there is not a column or formula in the Grouping Dimension tray. Distinct Filters do not have pill properties in the Analyzer.
Sort By: Add a column or formula to this tray to sort the Aggregated Table. This tray is available only when there is not a column or formula in the Grouping Dimension tray.

A column or formula in a tray is a Pill. Each pill has configurable properties. The parent tray determines the available properties of a pill. Select the arrow to the right of the pill name to view the Properties panel and set the pill properties.
