Pivot Table or Cross Tabs

Variously called as Cross Tabs or Matrix View, Pivot is an important report type useful in data analysis. Zoho Reports supports a flexible and feature-rich pivot table report type.

From a Table or Query Table in a database, you can choose New -> New Pivot View for creating a pivot over that table.

Or you can choose the New Report -> Pivot View option.

A multi-level Pivot View

Multi-level pivots can be created too. To the left is a pivot that shows Sales and Profit region-wise, splitting it further by Product category and Product name at the Row level and Year and Region at the column level.

And the data underlying a pivot value can be seen. The screen shot shows all the sales that has happened for "Office Chairs".
