Increase number of dimensions allowed in the pivot table

Domolola

Currently the pivot table chart only allows 10 dimensions on the top (rows fields). We need more than 10 dimensions often for data analysis.

Thanks!

Yes. DOMO needs to take this on priority as customers are using Excel sheet and they expect the as is in reporting tools.

@Domolola this limit has been increased recently so you should be able to add more than 10 dimensions as rows in your pivot table (assuming the number of columns is only 1. If you have a use case that requires a higher limit, I'd be interested to hear about it. Thanks!

Best Practices for Pivot Tables

To keep Pivot Tables organized and to avoid displaying unneeded data, the maximum number of queries that can be called is 36. To find this limit, use (NumberOfRowPills + 1) x (NumberOfColumnPills +1) <=36.

For example, a Pivot Table with 8-row pills and 1 column pill requires 18 queries to render:

8 rows x 1 column => (8+1) x (1+1) => 9 x 2 = 18 queries

Possible row and column combinations include:

1 x 17

2 x 11

3 x 8

4 x 6

5 x 5

6 x 4

8 x 3

11 x 2

17 x 1

When you drag a new value to a column or row, you must place the new value in one of the Drag Column Here boxes. Existing values are replaced when you drag over them.

The maximum number of columns allowed in a Values field is 50.
