    Hi kochsalz23 ,

    In fact, you can also achieve pivot table view on matrix without 'unpivot' your original table fields.
    You can consider to extract your attribute(your date category) to a new table and use it on matrix column field, then you can add measures to use the current row label and correspond column category value to lookup original table records and return the corresponding value. (matrix design: original table fields to row, new table attribute to column, measure to value)
    In addition, you can also consider to backup the original table to keep two data structure for correspondence analysis.

    Regards,

Thank you for the response! This would work if I only wanted to display both dates, but things get messy when trying to add the rest of the information. Additonally, I lose the ability to sort by descending/ascending dates the way I can freely do it in a regular table. Is there no way to do it without having to resort to the matrix table?
