The table visualization presents query results in a structured grid. Unlike the raw results table in the query panel, the table visualization is designed for sharing — it supports pivots, conditional formatting, custom styling, and a per-cell menu for links, copy, and drill-down.

​
Showing and hiding columns

Right-click a column header in the table visualization to hide it. Hidden columns can be restored from the Fields section of the configuration panel. You can also hide columns from the column options menu (the three-dot menu on each column header).

​
Reordering columns

Drag a column header to reorder columns. Dimensions and measures can be interspersed freely when no pivot is active.

​
Pivots

Pivoting a dimension turns its unique values into columns, creating a cross-tab view. Drag a dimension to the Pivot columns drop zone in the Fields section to pivot it. Pivot behavior:
  • Pivot columns can be sorted by clicking the column header, including the totals column.
  • Pivot columns can also be sorted by row values — click a row number to sort by that row, including the totals row.
  • Pivoted columns can be hidden, but hiding is indexed to the specific value (e.g. hiding status: returned), not position.

​
Table options

The Table tab in the configuration panel controls layout and display settings: Column widths are configured per column — see Column width below.

​
Column field options

Configure individual columns in the Columns section of the Style tab (or via the dropdown arrow on a field in the Fields section):

​
Column width

Each column’s width is set independently in the Columns section of the Style tab. A column is in one of two modes:
  • Flexible (the default) — the column shares the table’s available width with the other flexible columns, in proportion to its weight. A column with weight 2 is twice as wide as a column with weight 1. New columns start at weight 1, so by default all columns share the width equally and the table stretches to fill its tile.
  • Fixed — the column is locked to an exact pixel width and no longer participates in the weight-based distribution. Fixed columns keep their width regardless of the tile size; if the fixed columns don’t fill the tile, the remaining space is left blank.
You can mix the two: give a label column a fixed width and let the metric columns flex to share the rest.

​
Setting widths

  • In the panel — pick Flexible or Fixed for a column and enter its weight or pixel value.
  • By dragging — drag the border between two column headers on the table. The change is saved into the column’s current mode (a flexible column keeps flexing at its new relative size; a fixed column updates its pixel width).
  • Fit to content — the Fit to content button next to a column’s width sizes it to its content and switches it to Fixed at that width.
    Fit to content measures the rows currently rendered on screen. If a wider value is further down a long, scrolled table, fit to content again after scrolling to it.

​
Bulk controls

At the top of the Columns section:
  • All flexible — converts every column to flexible, deriving each weight from its current width (so the layout doesn’t jump). Enabled only when at least one column is fixed.
  • All fixed — freezes every column at its current rendered pixel width. Enabled only when at least one column is flexible.
  • All fit to content — sizes every column to its content and fixes it at that width, in a single action (the bulk equivalent of the per-column Fit to content). Like per-column fit to content, it measures the rows currently rendered on screen.
Under a column pivot, a width set on a measure applies to every column generated for that measure.
By default, columns display their raw value. The Display tab for each field lets you change this: Display a field’s value as a clickable hyperlink. To create dynamic per-row links:
  1. Add a calculated field that produces a URL — for example:
  2. In the table visualization, hide the calculated field column.
  3. In the Display tab for the field you want to link, set Display as to Link and select the hidden URL field as the source.

​
Images

Display a field as an image by setting Display as to Image. Configure height and width. To make the image a link, check Link image and set the Link URL. The URL must be publicly accessible without authentication.

​
Inline bars

Display a numeric column as a proportional in-cell bar. In the column’s per-column section on the Style tab, use the Display as control to add a bar. Each bar’s length reflects the value’s magnitude within the column’s range. When a column contains both positive and negative values, bars are drawn in both directions from a centered zero baseline — positive values to the right, negative to the left — using the positive and negative bar colors. Values outside the scale are clamped to a full or empty bar, but the displayed number is always the true value.

​
Sparklines

Display a numeric column as a sparkline — a mini trend chart in each cell that plots the measure across a time dimension. In the column’s per-column section on the Style tab, set Display as to Sparkline. A sparkline needs a time dimension to use as its horizontal axis. When you switch a column to Sparkline and pick its horizontal axis time dimension, that dimension is removed from the table query (if it was there): the table shows one row per remaining dimension, correctly aggregated, while the sparkline plots the measure’s value across the time dimension. Values are always correct for any measure type, including counts of distinct values, averages, and custom measures.
Internally, sparklines are powered by additional queries grouped by time dimension and granularity: measures sharing the same dimension and granularity are fetched together, so a chart with several sparklines runs at most one extra query per distinct dimension and granularity combination.
A row needs at least two data points to draw a sparkline; cells with fewer fall back to the formatted value.
Choose a reasonable granularity for the data’s time span. An overly fine granularity (e.g. by the second over several years) makes the background queries return many rows and can compromise the chart’s performance.

​
Cell menu

Left-clicking a table cell opens a context menu with any links defined on the dimension — drill into another dashboard (dashboard:) or open an external URL (url:) — plus Copy value and, where they apply, Drill down options. Drill down works in two ways:
  • On a measure cell whose data model defines drill members, it opens the underlying rows behind that value.
  • On a time-dimension cell shown at a granularity, it opens a submenu of finer granularities. Picking one re-buckets the same measures to that granularity, scoped to the period you clicked — drilling 2024 to Quarter shows the four quarters of 2024. You can keep drilling, then close the view to return to the original table.
Because a week can straddle two months or quarters, Week is never a drill target from a coarser granularity — a week cell drills only to Day and finer.

​
Selecting and copying cells

You can copy a single cell or a rectangular block of cells straight out of the table — copied values paste cleanly into a spreadsheet or text editor.

​
Copy a single cell

Click the cell to select it, then press Cmd/Ctrl+C or choose Copy value from the cell menu. Either way copies that cell’s raw (unformatted) value.

​
Select and copy a range

  • Click and drag across the cells to sweep out a rectangle, or Shift+click a second cell to extend the selection from the first.
  • Press Cmd/Ctrl+C to copy the selected cells. When more than one cell is selected, the cell menu also offers Copy values and Copy values with headers — the latter prepends a row of column titles.
Copied cells use the raw (unformatted) values. A range is joined by tabs across columns and newlines across rows, so it lands in a spreadsheet as a matching grid; a single cell copies as just its value. The same single-cell and range selection works in the Results table on the query panel, not just the table visualization.

​
Style options

The Style tab controls the visual appearance of the table:

​
Colors

Set background and text colors for table elements:
  • Table headers (background + text)
  • Values (background + text)
  • Banding (background)
  • Hover state
  • Totals row
Use the three-dot menu in the Colors section to reset to defaults or copy the color palette as a JSON string for reuse:

​
Borders

The Borders section of the Style tab controls which table borders are drawn. Five borders are configurable, each with its own toggle, color, and width (1–10 pixels): Each border is a row in the section: click the icon button to toggle the border on or off, and use the color swatch and width input next to it to style it. Color and width are only available while the border is on. When you don’t pick a color, the border uses the theme’s default border color, which adapts to light and dark mode automatically. Because every border has its own color and width, styles like a financial report — a thick line under the header, above the totals, and around the table, with thin lines between value rows — are a few clicks away. Or one: see presets below.

​
Border presets

Open the menu in the corner of the Borders section to apply a preset — a one-shot configuration of all five borders that you can tweak further afterwards:
  • Rows (default) — horizontal row lines with header and totals separators; the standard look.
  • Full grid — all borders on; a spreadsheet look.
  • Minimal — dark lines under the header and above the totals, nothing else.
  • Accounting — thin light row lines with a thick dark header separator, totals separator, and outer frame; a financial-statement look.
  • None — no borders at all.
Use Reset to default at the bottom of the section to clear all border settings.

​
Conditional formatting

The Conditional formatting tab applies cell or row styling based on conditions you define. Configure:
  1. The field to evaluate
  2. The condition (e.g. greater than, contains, is null)
  3. The styling to apply when the condition is met (background color, text color)
To make a background transparent, open the color picker and clear the hex value.

​
Color scale

A color scale (heat map) tints each cell of a numeric column with a gradient based on where its value falls in the column’s range. It is a rule type in the Formatting tab, alongside conditional formatting — switch a rule between Conditional formatting and Color scale with the Type selector inside the rule. To add one quickly, open the menu next to Add rule and pick a color-scale preset:
  • Outstanding values — a two-color scale that highlights the highest values.
  • Divergent values — a three-color scale that distinguishes low, middle, and high values.
  • Traffic light gradient — a red–yellow–green three-color scale.
A color scale requires a numeric source column. For non-numeric columns (strings, dates, booleans), the Scale type is disabled — use conditional formatting instead. Configure the gradient with three stops, laid out top-to-bottom to mirror the column:
  • Start (low end) — anchored at the column Minimum by default, or a custom Number or Percentile.
  • Center (optional middle) — Disabled by default, which produces a two-color gradient. Enable it for a three-color gradient anchored at the Midpoint, Average, Median, or a custom Number / Percentile.
  • End (high end) — anchored at the column Maximum by default, or a custom Number or Percentile.
Each stop has its own color. The anchor determines which value in the column the stop’s color is pinned to:
  • Minimum / Maximum — the lowest / highest value in the column.
  • Midpoint — the halfway point of the range, i.e. (minimum + maximum) / 2. Independent of how the values are distributed.
  • Average — the mean of all values (sensitive to outliers).
  • Median — the middle value when sorted (robust to outliers).
  • Number — a fixed value you enter.
  • Percentile — a value at the given percentile (e.g. 90 = the 90th percentile).
For the computed anchors (Minimum, Maximum, Midpoint, Average, Median), the dropdown previews the resolved value from your data. Use Reverse color scale to swap the Start and End colors. Treat nulls as zero is on by default, coloring null/blank cells as zero; turn it off to leave them uncolored. The scale is normalized per column — each targeted column uses its own value range.

​
Totals

Enable column totals and row totals from the Table configuration tab. Totals rows and columns are styled separately from body cells.

​
Subtotals

When the table is pivoted by two or more dimensions, you can also enable subtotals — a bold Total for ‹value› column appended after each pivot group’s columns, at every nesting level. Subtotals combine freely with column and row totals, work in workbooks and on dashboards, and — like the other totals — carry over from the results table when you switch the chart type to Table. See Subtotals for details and limitations.
