Viewing Pivot Grid Displays

Use the Pivot Grid Display page (PTPG_WIZ_DISP) to review the Pivot Grid model based on the display option and layout selected. Optionally, you can modify the Pivot Grid model to finalize the design and then click the Save button to save it. Pivot Grid model metadata is saved to the database.

Note that Pivot Grid displays the value 0 (zero) in the grid cell if:

  • No data for the grid intersection point exists.

    In this case, Pivot Grid displays 0 as text, and you cannot drill down to details from this text.

  • Aggregate function returns 0 for the grid intersection. A common use case could be +ve and -ve values adding up to 0 for the Sum aggregate.

    In this case, Pivot Grid displays 0 as a link, and you can drill down to details from this link.
