Transpose a Pivot Table Plugin

Tommy

August 17, 2016 19:38

Introduction

Out of the box, Sisense does not allow users to structure a pivot table so the metrics are listed vertically on the left side, with the groupings listed across the top. This is commonly used in financial reports.

This plugin will allow users to get this layout.

Implementation

Download the attachment and unzip the contents into your C:\Program Files\Sisense\PrismWeb\plugins\ folder. If you are using version 7.2 and higher unzip the contents into your C:\Program Files\Sisense\app\plugins\ folder. If the plugins folder doesn't exist, please create it.
Open the script editor for the widget you'd like to modify. We have documentation on how to edit a widget's script here:https://www.sisense.com/documentation/extending-dashboard-functiona...
Put in the following lines of code into your widget script

transposePivot(widget);

4. Click save, and refresh the widget.

Notes

This widget only supports using one grouping in the rows, and nothing in the columns. You will be alerted if you violate these restrictions.
I'd suggest using the "Alternating Columns" and "Columns Headers" options in the design section of the widget

Updates

October 18 2017 - support conditional coloring
January 16 2019 - support for Sisense 7.2, support for column resizing, bugfixes

Is this going to be a native feature? Seems quite useable...

Hi,

I am using this feature, and a client of mine has found 'sort arrows' at the end of the row, and also on the columns, which are confusing. I wonder if they could be removed.

Please let me know if this update is made.

Thanks,

Need this same functionality on the Table and Aggregated Table widget. Any chance this is a simple update?

Thanks, Jim

Any chance we can get an update on whether or not this will be native in Sisense?

Hi James,

The Product team is working on a project of re-writing the Pivot component. The transpose capability will be added to the Pivot backlog and will be eventually addressed in the change.

I recommend following the Product Updates segment in the community to make sure you get an email notification on future version releases.

Thanks,

Oxana

When creating PDF pages in Sisense, this plugin is causing the page to become unresponsive. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this type of issue.

Hi,

Is there any way to change the font-weight, font-type of a particular row (or multiple rows) when using the transposepivot functionality ? I tried to uses some script found for pivot tables but they do not seem to work when using the transpose pivot function.

Thanks,

Hugo

Is anyone else having trouble with this in 7.1? We had it implemented in a previous version and now when I go to edit the widget, it freezes my computer and I need to exit the dashboard.

Thanks!

Works great but get your pivot table like you want it first. then add the script.

If you need to edit, comment out the transposePivot line, save script, then refresh widget, then edit then put the script back in.

I can't find a way to make it work.
Should the grouped variable be in the rows section?
Where should I add the scores given to the grouped variable?

Working on 7.1
Thanks

Has anyone tried to use the JumpToDashboard plugin with the Transpose option?

Currently, it doesn't seem like its supported. Wondering if anyone has a workaround. On 7.0 currently.

Thank you,

Howdy,

This plugin works great for our requirement - thanks!

Only issue I have is that the values render left-aligned as opposed to right-aligned. Any quick advice on how to update the script to ensure right-alignment of the values? (Brand new to Sisense.)

Thanks!

Hi,

In 7.1, when attempting to export the transposed widget to Excel (XLSX) or PDF, the results are not transposed. Would love to see a fix for this.

Thanks!

Note: You will now need to use the following in your Jscript

prism.transposePivot(widget);

This was changed with this new version (as per the readme file)

I do not see a horizontal scroll bar in the edge but I do see it in chrome but the last row CV is moving along with the scroll bar. Can it be fixed? I can send a cube and a chart if needed. Thansk

Running into issues with this plug in when downloading to PDF, it does not maintain the transpose. Any suggestions? Is this still on the roadmap to add to the native pivot functionality?
