Which data column format is better?

Hey,

I'm generating report from one of our platform and have a possiblity to have report in two formats.

Let's assume that A-category , B-subcategory, X-random value.

First type:

A1X1
   B11X11
   B12X12
A2X2
   B21X21
   B22X22

 

So in this case X1 is sum of X11 and X12. with DOMO limitation of summing total rows this might be useful...

Second type:

A1B11X11
A1B12X12
A2B21X21
A2B22X22

In second case we don't have total value, but we have a better division and summing we can do on our own. 

 

I'm generating second type, i think it is more flexible and better for making charts. What is your opinion? Maybe I'm missing something?

 

Cheers,

Rafal

    Hi Rafal

     

    Your second option is the preferred option. Domo will read the rows of data independent of how they nest under preceding rows. In other words, Domo won't know that B11 is part of A1.
