Pivot to Page

Pivot dimensions to the page level help you to pivot a dimension from a row to a Page section or from a column to a Page section.

Note:
If only one dimension is available on the row/ column, it cannot be pivoted to the Page, as we need at least one dimension on the row and column.

In Practice: Pivot to Page

  1. Select a dimension on a row or column and navigate to Pivot > Pivot to Page.
