Yellowfin tables display data in either rows or in columns and have a header and footer. Header and footer rows and columns are special rows and columns. The header displays information about the row or column e.g. a label or the name of the variable whose values are displayed. The footer displays calculations on the values displayed in the columns or rows.

...

Note: arrange the items in the order you want them to appear in the column list. For example, if you want each row to have a location, headcount and basic pay, in that order, arrange the data items in that order in the Columns list.

Basic Cross Tab

A basic cross tab table will have only one row dimension, one column dimension and one metric specified.

Drag the dimensions and metrics that you wish to display in your cross tab table. You must have a dimension in both the Column and Row lists, and a metric, for the cross tab report to populate.

  • Two row dimensions are now displayed. As Camp Region is listed first, it is broken up in the table by Gender, the secondary dimension.
  • As many dimensions as required can be added to a report.
