Here's an example of what I'm trying to make from an Excel Pivot Table with the same data.
I created a matrix visualization that has the following where HR Status is the "Accrual" and "Used" data from the Pivot Table above.
However, when I drop two columns into the Visualization (expecting it to nest them like a PivotTable), it only shows the one.
And when I reverse the order, it just still shows only the one on top.
How do I get it to show both, like the Pivot Table does? I feel like it's something simple and I'm just missing it.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try to select Drill on Columns and then click the circled button to show both column headers.
