Specifying the Rows

Specifying the Rows

To specify the rows in the pivot table, drag and drop items from the Model Contents pane to the Drop row here label in the Rows box. When you do so, the Rows box looks like this:

Rows box with age group

Now there are three places into which you can drag and drop additional items:

  • If you drag and drop onto the bold item label (Age Group in this case), the Analyzer replaces the existing item with the new one.

  • If you drag and drop onto Drop row here, the Analyzer adds additional rows to the table. For example:

    Rows Pivot Table
    Rows box with age group and gender shown in parallel
    Pivot table with age group rows, followed by gender rows

    Note that you can hide the row caption; see Specifying Pivot Options.

  • If you drag and drop onto the Add Breakout button after the bold item label, the Analyzer subdivides the existing rows. For example:

    Rows Pivot Table
    Gender level below and to the right of Age Group level
    Gender level as inner grouping of rows, and Age Group level as outer grouping of rows

    Notice that now there are two labels called Drop row here. The non-indented one affects the outermost grouping. The indented one affects the inner grouping.

    When you nest levels this way, the system initially returns only the first 2,000 combinations of the levels. If there are more than 2,000 rows, the system displays the Show All button at the bottom of the pivot preview area. If you click this button, the system returns all the combinations, and you can page through them.

To remove an item from the rows, click the X button to the right of its label in the Rows box.

For information on the Advanced Options button , see Customizing Pivot Table Items.

Note:

If you use calculated members for rows, they are always shown after the other members.
