Columns by Categories
The Columns by Categories option is a variant of grouping columns that appears when you drag multiple
columns to the table. They are independent grouping columns sharing a common set of values. When a set
of grouping columns is used collectively as Columns by Categories, a crosstabulation of the column names
and the categories gathered from these columns is generated. Each cell is defined by one of the columns and
one of the categories. If Columns by Categories is defined on the Column table, then the corresponding
categories are automatically used to define the row table.
