This section describes the following:

From Kyvos 2025.10 onwards, you can apply bold, italic, and underline formatting to highlighted text within Crosstab and table controls. You can also export PDFs that retain the applied font styles and weights (such as bold, italic, and underline) applied via highlighting in Crosstab and Table controls, including legends.

Changing crosstab view

To change to the crosstab view, perform the following steps.

From the Toolbox, select Workbooks, then select a workbook and worksheet.
If needed, select the Design workspace.
Select the Crosstab option from the View Type list.
To see the total number of rows and columns returned from a query, right-click and select the Show Info option. If a query has color and chart dimensions both, you will view the count for each individual dimension.

Note

From Kyvos 2024.11 onwards, you can save changes to column widths in crosstabs and tables within data cards while in design mode. Additionally, column widths can be reset to match those in the worksheet. If a column's width has not been modified in the data card, it will inherit the width set in the worksheet.

View Crosstab properties

If the Design view has Properties enabled, you will see the properties pane alongside the crosstab. By default, it is on the right. You may need to select whether you view Worksheet or Crosstab properties. Otherwise, see Configuring the Kyvos workspace to learn how to display the properties pane.

Crosstab properties pane

You can configure the appearance of the crosstab using the following properties:

Crosstab Property	Description

Crosstab Property	Description
Max Rows	The maximum number of rows to be displayed on the crosstab.
Max Columns	The maximum number of columns to be displayed on the crosstab.
Repeat Member Values	Selecting this checkbox repeats the member values on the crosstab. Otherwise, the member values are displayed once.
Response Chunk Size	Data in crosstab is fetched and rendered in chunks for best visualization. This property lets you specify the number of rows fetched in each chunk for crosstab. Automatic: The number of rows in each chunk is intelligently calculated based on dimensions and measures on visualization and properties set at the semantic model level. Manual: Provide a value ranging from 1 to 10,000 to specify the number of rows in each chunk of the crosstab. NOTE: The chunk size you specify is applied only to this sheet. To specify the chunk size at the application level, you must use the kyvos.crosstab.response.chunksize property in the biserver.properties file.
Row Drill Options Column Drill Options	Specifies whether the drilled-down view should display levels or member expansions. Member Expansion Level Expansion NOTE: When Row or Column Expansion is set to Classic, you can set the drill options to member or level. When they are set to Hierarchical, these options are not available.
Row Expansion Column Expansion	In the drop-down list, select either Classic or Hierarchical expansion for rows and columns. Row: When you select Classic and expand members in a row, the expanded member data is shown as a new separate column. When Hierarchical is selected, the expanded member data is shown as new indented rows. Column: When you select Classic and expand members in a column, the expanded member data is shown as a separate new row. When Hierarchical is selected, the expanded member data is shown as new indented columns.
Show Expand Collapse Button	Allows you to view plus and minus icons for expanding and collapsing rows and levels and persist expansion.
Persist Expansion	Allows you to persist the expansions when you reopen a saved worksheet. This specifies whether detailed data is displayed in separate rows or columns from the parent data.
Show Totals	Use this checkbox to add totals to the crosstab and specify whether the totals should be displayed at the top or bottom of the crosstab. The totals shown reflect any filters applied to the data. Select whether to show the Grand total only, or Grand total and subtotal, or both. Use the icons to select rows, columns, or both. You can view totals on Row, Column, or both for crosstabs in a chart. Use the icons to specify the axis/row/column for which you want to see the totals. You can also specify where the totals display, at the top or bottom of the crosstab. You can also view subtotals for a selected dimension in a crosstab by clicking the Of list.
Show Alternate Row Highlight	Allows alternate row highlighting for crosstabs. You must select any one of the following to specify which dimensions you want to highlight: Innermost Dimension: Select this option if you want to highlight alternate rows in the crosstab. Outermost Dimension: Select this option if you want to highlight the outermost value of the outermost dimension and its subsequent children using the same color.
Heatmap Properties	Click the link if the heatmap feature is enabled in your installation. See Heatmap properties to configure a heatmap.

Note

You can set actions for a crosstab using the Options menu or by right-clicking a data item in a crosstab.

Formatting column width and alignment

You can specify the alignment for all dimensions and measures and column width for crosstabs and tables. Left, Right, and Center alignment options are supported.

You can also specify pixel-perfect width for columns in crosstabs and tables. However, for crosstab, the width setting option is not available for dimension in the column, as its cell width changes according to the width of all the measures below it.

Any changes made in the workbook are also reflected in the corresponding dashboard. Any crosstab exported to a PDF format respects the specified width and alignment settings.

To specify the content alignment and column width, perform the following steps:
