Adding the values of a column(Categories) as headers to another column(Title)

Hello,


I was wondering how the values of a column can be implemented as Herders to another column values. I am using a table visual, in which I have added Title, Categories and Web link columns. I have added Web link and Title in to table but actually, what I am lagging with is the Category column values should be the headers for the title column values. To be more clear , If the title column consists of alpbhabets from A to Z and numbers from 1 to 10, then in the categories column we have got Alphabets and Numbers. So all the Albhabets from Title column  should fall under Alphabets group and  all the numbers from Title column should be under Numbers Category. My thougt is duplicate the table and retain only the column which needs to be converted to titles and apply pivot but I was thinking is there and simple way of acheiving this. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Hi @Anonymous .

 

As far as I know, Matrix visual should be a good idea. You need to add an index column in your table to expand the matrix due to it will only show first/last data when there is no data as level 2 in matrix row field.

Thank you very much. Is there any way to acheive this using table visual as I have got another column hyperlinks, which is shown as symbol and requirement is these links should be in First column and Title as second column and Category as headers.

Use a Matrix visual and put Category and Title into the Rows area.
