Tables

A list table is a two-dimensional representation of data in which the data values are arranged in unlabeled rows and labeled columns. List tables can use any data items from a data source. A list table cannot use a hierarchy or a percentage of subtotals.

A crosstab (also known as a crosstabulation table) shows an aggregate metric for the intersections of two or more categories. Crosstabs often have two or more categories assigned to both the rows and columns, forming a matrix. Crosstabs can be easier to read than list tables because they often use less space, and they always collapse repeating values for outer category data items into one unique value, which is known as grouping. A crosstab can use a hierarchy.
