Overview of table

QMF Vision provides added reporting functionality by the way of tables, also known as a cross-tab visualization. A cross-tab helps you summarize complex data that is displayed on a data sheet and can be organized in multiple ways. Organizing data through a cross tab allows the data which is displayed vertically to be displayed horizontally.

About this task

You can perform the following functions on a cross-tab visualization:
  • Swap the rows and columns by clicking SWAP.
  • Toggle between the Simple-tab and cross-tab view by clicking CROSS-TAB.
  • Hide or show a column by clicking the Show/Hide icon. This option is visible when you hover the mouse over a column header.

You can format data in cross-tab visualizations by selecting the following options available in TOOLBOX.

  • View the breadcrumb trail of the navigational path when you drill down the data in a column by selecting Breadcrumb.
  • View the sub total of every row by selecting Sub Total.
  • View the grand total of every column by selecting Grand Total
  • View the serial number of every row by selecting Line Number.

  • Modify the background colors for dimension, measures, and groups.
  • If the Y axis of cross-tab has two or more dimensions, you can drill down a column by selecting the column and clicking Drill.

  • Select a column and apply formatting options. You can modify the alignment of the text, font size, and font color.
