Note: Certain elements of table configuration are part of the new answer experience /wiki/spaces/DASUPPORT/pages/47065465155. The new answer experience is off by default. These elements of the new answer experience include conditional and number formatting for table summaries, improved conditional formatting for attributes and measures in table cells, conditional formatting for measures in pivot tables, content density, and theme (outline, row, or zebra). If the new answer experience is off, you do not see these capabilities. You can turn it on or off individually from the Experience manager panel in your profile. If that option is not available, contact your administrator. |
In the table view, your search identifies attributes and/or columns, and presents them as a table. ThoughtSpot aggregates the results based on the level of aggregation that you specify in the search. For example, if you only type revenue, you see the total sum of revenue as a single number. If you include the keyword monthly, the results are broken down by month. From the column header, you can rename the column, or sort or filter the column. You can rearrange the column order of your table by dragging and dropping the columns, either from the table itself or from the Edit table: Configure menu. You can also change the column widths.
Rearrange column order
...
You can rearrange the column order of your table after adding all of your search terms.
...
You can also rearrange the column order from the Edit table: Configure menu. Click the gear wheel icon. Drag and drop the attribute or measure that you would like to move to a new position. The order of columns in the Configure menu reflects the column order of the table.
...
Resize column widths
...
You can resize the column widths of your table after adding all of your search terms. Any adjustments you make to the column widths of your table are saved when you pin the table to a Liveboard. To resize the column widths:
While viewing your answer as a table, hover over a column border in the column header row.
Click and drag the border to create your preferred column width.
Clip or wrap text
...
You can clip or wrap long text in a table cell, or on a table header. You can configure clipped or wrapped text for the entire table, or for each column individually.
...
To clip or wrap text for each column individually, hover over the column name and click the ellipsis icon. Select text wrapping, and choose wrap or clip.
...
Number formatting
...
You can format the numbers in any table column based on a measure, or in any column summary. This functionality allows you to change the category (number, percentage, or currency), units (auto, none, thousand, million, billion, or trillion), or method of writing negative values (-1234, 1234-, or (1234)).
...
Under number formatting, you can edit the category, units, or method of writing negative values. Click the dropdown menus to select new values.
Specify a category: number, percentage, or currency. If you select currency, you can select the type of currency: USD, AUD, EUR, and so on. If you do not pick a category, ThoughtSpot automatically picks the best category for your data.
Specify units: Select none to see your data down to two decimal points, for example, or select millions to see labels rounded to the millions. If you do not specify units, ThoughtSpot automatically picks the best units for your data.
Depending on the unit, you can also specify the number of decimal places, and remove or include the thousand separator.
Specify the method for writing negative values: -1234, 1234-, or (1234). The default is -1234.
...
Conditional formatting
...
You can perform conditional formatting on both measures and attributes, within table cells and in the table summaries.
...
Note that certain elements of conditional formatting are part of the new answer experience. These elements include conditional formatting for table summaries and improved conditional formatting for attributes and measures in table cells. The new answer experience is on by default. You can toggle it on or off from the Experience manager in your profile. If that option is not available, contact your administrator.
Sort columns
...
You can sort a table by column values by clicking on the column title. If you hold down the SHIFT key, you can sort on multiple column titles at a time. This is especially useful for date columns. For example, if you search for sales by week and by quarter, and just sort the quarterly column, the weeks are not in order:
...
You can achieve this from the search bar, as well, by adding sort by date quarterly and sort by date weekly.
Table footer
...
Tables automatically have footers that tell you the number of rows the table has. You can enable or disable this footer from the Settings menu.
Click the gear wheel icon to the upper right of your table. The Edit table panel appears, on the Configure menu.
Select Settings.
Select table footer to enable or disable it.
...
Table theme
...
Tables themes are part of the new answer experience. You can change the table theme from the default (outline) to row or zebra. You can change the table theme from the Settings menu. Row removes the lines between columns, and zebra changes the color of every other row.
Click the gear wheel icon to the upper right of your table. The Edit table panel appears, on the Configure menu.
Select Settings.
Under Table theme, select outline, row, or zebra.
Column summaries
...
For columns with numeric information, you can turn on column summaries that display column totals. These summaries are visible by default. You can perform number and conditional formatting on column summaries, just like you can for column values.
Enable or disable column summaries
Click the gear wheel icon to the upper right of your table. The Edit table panel appears, on the Configure menu.
Select Settings.
Select column summary to enable or disable column summaries for the entire table. You can also enable or disable individual column summaries, from the Summary section in a column’s Edit panel.
...
Pin column summaries
You can pin column summaries to any Liveboard. Select the pin icon that appears when you hover over a summary.
Column summary aggregation
You can modify how you would like a column summary value to be displayed by clicking the dropdown on a summary and selecting a different type of aggregation. This aggregation menu is also available from the Summary section in a column’s Edit panel. For measures, the available aggregations are total, average, standard deviation, variance, min, and max. For attributes, the available aggregations are unique count and total count.
Table aggregate summary
The Table Aggregate summary appears when you use an aggregate function either through a formula or a search bar query, such as average of a measure. It recalculates the function for the entire table. In such cases, the Table Aggregate summary appears by default, instead of the “Avg” option, which does a second level of aggregation on top of the existing aggregation.
