When to use straight table ?

Hi All

Recently when I want to make my display amount from 1,000 to 1K , I some how force to switch from straight table to Mattix.

And it look like matrix table can have all feature of straight table can do and with a lot of benefit. 
So I can conclude that Striaght table will become Like pie chart , only for those who insist and refuse to change.

    Table

    • In table we present data in 2-Dimension data grid format.
    • By default display all data, means flat data structure.
    • Rows not fixed but columns are fixed.
    • When you add new dimension you can add them as “Values” and it will appear as a new column in grid.

    Matrix

    • It support Multidimensional data grid format.
    • Matrix automatically aggregate the data according to data behavior.
    • Rows & Columns both are not fixed.
    • Here you have option to add Values, Rows & columns.
  • well, it will all depend on what you wanting to show on the report, basically tables its for the most basic of informations, show details exactly as they are, summarized etc etc.
