The following section describes how to add a field as a Row and a field as a Column for the creation of a Pivot Table. These are the Dimensions of your Pivot Table and they make it more readable and detailed.
There are several options as to what to display for a Dimension, which can be added to add more detail to your Pivot table:
Totals
Blanks
You can add a vertical Dimension or a horizontal Dimension or both.
You can get the percentages for a Measure in relation to a Dimension using the Measures panel.
