Vizlib Pivot Table: How to use a Pivot Table in Qlik Sense

Pivot Table Extension for Qlik Sense: What is a Pivot Table?

A Pivot table is a table of summarised data extracted from a database. It is a data processing tool used to summarise, analyse and compare data. It enables the user to pivot or rearrange the data and view it according to their needs. Users can change rows into columns or vice versa, or isolate or expand data to get the best perspective and draw attention to key data points. 

The best use of the Pivot table is to aggregate and analyse large amounts of data. Since the user views only a few data fields at a time, the layout facilitates easier engagement and analysis. Executives often use this data processing tool to calculate averages or sums like sales by region, or to generate specific values like sales by country. 

The ability to summarise data quickly and easily allows users to create real-time reports and gain the exact business insights necessary to shape strategic growth. The dynamic Pivot table is more than a trusted sidekick. It’s all in the name—it’s pivotal!
