Visualizations → Aggregated Table
About an Aggregated Table visualization
An aggregated table visualization is a tabular view of your data with the ability to utilize aggregated granularity. An aggregated table visualization allows you to change the granularity of the data provided in your table. You can use aggregations, such as sum, average, min, and so on, as well as configure various properties for measures, dimensions, filters, and settings for the Aggregated Table insight.
The distinction between an aggregated table visualization and an aggregated table insight is that an insight is an instance of the visualization. As an instance, an aggregated table insight has unique configurations that a dashboard developer determines for displaying a chart on a dashboard tab. Insight configurations affect the available user interactions for a dashboard consumer, such as the ability to drill down into a grouping dimension.
With two possible dimensions, an aggregated table visualization offers a dashboard developer the ability to create an insight that groups one or more aggregated or calculated values by one or more attributes. The result is an aggregated table insight on a dashboard tab that shows:
- a grouping dimension as the categories along the rows and columns
- a measure as the aggregated values

Insight configurations affect the available user interactions for a dashboard consumer such as the ability to drill down into a grouping dimension.
Configurations for an aggregated table insight
A dashboard developer first selects an aggregated table visualization for an insight in the Analyzer. Using the Analyzer, a dashboard developer configures pill properties, filter properties, and insight settings. Insight settings and pill properties determine not only how the aggregated table appears as an insight in a dashboard tab, but also how a dashboard consumer can interact with the aggregated table.
The visualization selection in the Insight panel of the Analyzer determines the available trays. From the Data panel, a dashboard developer adds a column or a formula to a tray. A column or a formula in a tray is a Pill.
Each pill has configurable properties. The parent tray determines the available properties of a pill.
The available trays for an aggregated table insight are:
- Grouping Dimension
- Measure
- Individual Filter
- Aggregate Filter
- Distinct Filter
- Sort By
An aggregated table insight requires at least one measure pill and one grouping dimension pill. Using a measure pill only without a grouping dimension results in a list with all of the values of the measure pill.
Grouping Dimension
From the Data panel, you can add a column or a formula to the Grouping Dimension tray. The aggregated table insight plots the first pill in the Grouping Dimension tray as the first column.
Each pill in the Grouping Dimension tray is a filterable column for the insight. The pill ordering in the grouping dimension tray defines the following:
- the first pill is the initial grouping dimension
- the other pills acts as grouping dimensions and also define an order of user interactions that allow a dashboard consumer to drill down into the next grouping dimension and in doing so, also create one or more dashboard runtime filters
Measure
To create an aggregation or calculation, you can add a column or a formula from the Data panel to the Measure tray.
You can select the measure pill to open the Properties panel. In the Properties panel, you can configure various properties, such as the Aggregation and Format properties.
Individual Filter
To filter individual rows for the aggregated table insight, define an individual filter for the insight. You can add a column or a formula to the Individual Filter tray from the Data panel.
You can select the individual filter pill to open the Filter panel. Using the Filter panel, you can specify the filter operator, one or more filter values, or the filter expression itself with the Formula Builder. You can also disable the individual filter.
To learn more about filter expressions for an individual filter, review Concepts → Individual Filter.
Aggregate Filter
You can define a filter expression that contains an aggregation or calculation using the Aggregate Filter tray.
To create a filter expression, add a column or a formula to the Aggregate Filter tray from the Data panel. You can select the aggregate filter pill to open the Filter panel.
Using the Filter panel, you can specify the aggregation, the filter operator, one or more filter values, or the filter expression itself with the Formula Builder. You can also disable the aggregate filter.
To learn more about filter expressions for an aggregate filter, review Concepts → Aggregate Filter.
Distinct Filter
To filter distinct rows for the aggregated table insight, define a distinct filter for the insight. You can only add columns to the Distinct Filter tray from the Data panel.
The Distinct Filter tray is not available for an aggregated table insight with one or more grouping dimension pills.
To learn more about filter expressions for a distinct filter, review Concepts → Distinct Filter.
Sort By
To sort the rows for the aggregated table insight, define a sort by pill for the insight. You can only add columns to the Sort By tray from the Data panel.
The Sort By tray is not available for an aggregated table insight with one or more grouping dimension pills.
Pill properties
The parent tray determines the available properties of a pill. There are various possible configurations for each pill type:
- Grouping dimension pill properties
- Measure pill properties
- Individual filter properties for a filter expression
- Aggregate filter properties for a filter expression
- Distinct filter pill properties
- Sort by pill properties
You can edit the properties of a grouping dimension, a measure, a distinct filter, or a sort by pills with the Properties panel for an aggregated table insight.
To create a filter expression, edit the properties of an individual filter or aggregate filter pill with the Filter panel.
In the case of the Filter property of a measure pill, you can open the Filter panel from the Properties panel to create the filter expression.
To open the Properties panel or Filter panel, select the pill arrow.

User interactions for an aggregated table insight
As a dashboard consumer, you can interact with an aggregated table insight on a dashboard tab. Some interactions will affect only the aggregated table. Other interactions will affect both the aggregated table and the dashboard. The creation of one or more dashboard runtime filters is an example of a user interaction that affects all applicable insights on all tabs of a dashboard.
Some user interactions require specific configurations by a dashboard developer and therefore may not be available.
Here are the possible types of user interactions for an aggregated table insight:
- Select a cell value to show all the related rows with the same cell value and in doing so, create a dashboard runtime filter
- Select a cell value to open the Filter by menu and select an option to drill down into a grouping dimension and in doing so, create a dashboard runtime filter
- Select a cell to open the Go to menu, and then select a dashboard tab to navigate to (requires a dashboard drill down configuration for a grouping dimension pill)
A dashboard runtime filter affects all applicable insights on all tabs of a dashboard. A dashboard runtime filter appears as a filter bar pill and displays the filter expression.
More Options menu for an aggregated table insight
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) enforces access to certain features and functionality. With Discretionary Access Control (DAC), a user who owns the dashboard can control the access to the dashboard. Access rights include the ability to view, share, and edit the dashboard. Together, RBAC and DAC affect the available selections in both the Action bar and the More Options menu for an insight.
For more information about RBAC and DAC, review Tools → Security Manager.
In addition, certain tenant configurations by a Cluster Management Console (CMC) Administrator affect the available selections in the More Options menu for an insight.
