Pivot Tab

The Pivot tab is where you pivot your dataset query results. Any fields that are included in the underlying dataset appear in the Dataset Panel on the left. To build your pivot table, drag fields from the Dataset Panel to the Layout panel, then click the Refresh icon Refresh report icon . The generated pivot table is displayed in the Pivot Table Viewer on the right.

You can create multiple pivot tables using the same dataset query results.

For information about how to use the Pivot tab to pivot your dataset query results, see Creating a Workbook.

The elements of the Pivot tab are identified in the image below:

1	Workbook Information — Click to view or edit the workbook name, description, internal ID, or to add a translatable portlet name to your Analytics portlet. This information is available from anywhere within the workbook. For more information about translatable Analytics portlet names, see Adding Translatable Analytics Portlet Names.
2	Undo, Redo, and Refresh — Undo or redo your latest edits, and refresh the data in the workbook visualization you are currently in. The undo and redo options apply to any action within the workbook and not only the current tab you are in. For more information about data refreshing, see Data Refresh in SuiteAnalytics Workbook.
3	Add — Click the add icon to add a new workbook visualization.
4	Dataset Panel — The leftmost area of any workbook visualization, the Dataset Panel contains all of the fields included in the selected dataset. In workbook visualizations based on linked datasets, the panel shows both dataset names. To build a workbook visualization, drag fields from the Dataset Panel to the Layout Panel or the Table Viewer. You can also access and edit the underlying dataset, or switch to a different dataset using the Dataset Selector at the top of the panel. In workbook visualizations based on linked datasets, fields used to define the link are denoted by a chain link icon. If you delete fields used to define the link, it can cause errors within the workbook. For more information, see Dataset Linking in SuiteAnalytics Workbook. To view or edit a dataset, click the dataset name in the Dataset Selector. To view additional information about a field, point to the field and click the icon. To create a value-based filter, click the Field Menu icon and select Filter [Field Name] from the list. You can also create measure-based filters from the Layout panel or the Viewer. For more information, see Workbook Visualization Filters. To collapse the Dataset Panel and expand the Viewer, click the double arrows .
5	Dataset Selector — This list enables you to access and edit the datasets connected to the visualization, select a different dataset, or connect a dataset that is not already used in another workbook visualization. In visualizations connected to linked datasets, it also enables you to edit the dataset link. To view or edit a dataset, click the dataset name in the Dataset Selector. Alternatively, click the menu icon and select Open Dataset. To connect or create a new dataset, click the arrow and select Connect Dataset. To edit the dataset link, click the dataset menu icon and select Edit Dataset Link. To save or discard changes to the selected dataset, click the menu icon and select Save Changes or Discard Changes. You must save or discard changes to any datasets connected to the workbook before you can save the workbook.
6	Layout panel — The Layout panel displays the layout for your pivot table. For date and numeric fields, the summary type is also displayed next to the field. Every time you make changes to your pivot table layout, you must click the Refresh icon for the changes to take effect. To add fields to the layout, drag them from the Dataset Panel to the desired section of the pivot table. You can define multiple fields for the same table component. For more information, see Grouping Pivot Table Fields. To add a calculated measure, click Create Calculated Measure and define your calculations. Calculated measures are displayed with a calculator icon. For more information, see Calculated Measures. If you are in a NetSuite account with multiple currencies or subsidiaries and your workbook contains fields with values in multiple currencies, click the Field Menu icon next to an applicable field and select Currency... to apply currency conversion or consolidation. You must convert or consolidate values that are in multiple currencies to perform arithmetic operations and other types of numeric manipulation. For more information, see Currency in Datasets and Workbooks. To create a value-based filter for the table, click the Field Menu icon and select Filter [Field name]....

The following options are available: Export icon — Export a CSV file of the pivot table currently displayed in the viewer. Important: To mitigate the possibility of a CSV injection, table results exported to CSV may have additional formatting applied. For more information, see Known Limitations in SuiteAnalytics Workbook. Totaling icon — Add totals and grand totals to your pivot table for any applicable fields. Totals for columns can be added to the right or left of the table. Totals for rows can be added to the top or bottom. Highlight Rows icon — When enabled, rows are highlighted when you point to them. Highlight Columns icon — When enabled, columns are highlighted when you point to them. Row Lock icon — When enabled, the top row is locked so that it remains visible while scrolling through the table. Column Lock icon — When enabled, the first column is locked so that it remains visible while scrolling through the table. Compact Mode icon — If you define multiple fields as rows or add a multi-column hierarchy to your table, turn on compact mode to condense the fields into a single column.
8	Pivot Table filter summary — Displays a summary of the filter conditions applied to the pivot table. Filter conditions created on the Pivot tab only affect the pivot table and do not change the underlying dataset.
9	Pivot Table Viewer — The Pivot Table Viewer displays your generated pivot table after updating the layout and clicking the Refresh icon. As an alternative to dragging fields to the Layout panel to construct your table, you can add them directly to the Pivot Table Viewer. In the Pivot Table Viewer itself, you can perform the following actions: To resize a column or row, drag one of the column or row boundaries until it is the size you want. To change the width of a column based on its values, double-click the column header. To add a total for a column or row, click the Field Menu icon and select Show Grand Total.
