Dashboards Widget: Pivot Table
SmartSuite’s Pivot Table widget helps transform complex data, allowing you to see patterns and trends from multiple angles. The pivot supports grouping and summarization, organizing information into rows and columns that can answer questions like "Which product sold the most?" or "What is the average income per region?"
To add a Pivot Table to your workspace, click Add widget and then select Pivot Table from the Widget Library. After selecting the solution and table for the source of your data, you can select fields for the rows and columns in your pivot. Finally, select the field and aggregation type (either by count or by field value) in the “Summarize by” dropdown.
