Providing Data

The only difference is in the data sections that the required dashboard item has. This topic describes how to bind a Pivot dashboard item to data in the Designer.

Binding to Data in the Designer

The image below shows a sample Pivot dashboard item that is bound to data.

To bind the Pivot dashboard item to data, drag and drop a data source field to a placeholder contained in one of the available data sections. A table below lists and describes a Pivot's data sections.

Section	Description
Values	Contains data items used to calculate values displayed in the pivot table.
Columns	Contains data items whose values are used to label columns.
Rows	Contains data items whose values are used to label rows.

Transposing Columns and Rows

The Pivot dashboard item provides the capability to transpose pivot columns and rows. In this case, data items contained in the Columns section are moved to the Rows section and vice versa.

To transpose the selected Pivot dashboard item, use the Transpose button in the Home ribbon tab.
