About Tables

A table displays data as text. The data value for each measure or category that is assigned to the table is displayed as a column. The data values in the table are not aggregated.

Note: For very large data sources, the table visualization displays only the first two billion (2,147,483,647) rows.

Note: If you sort the table, then the table displays only the first 5,000 sorted rows.
