    Hi,

    you can have multiple fields in the column area and you can create calculated columns in the pivot table, so yes, in more than one way you can have multiple columns.

    What is your exact requirement, exactly what are you trying to achieve?

    HI, Thank you for taking time to answer, but what i need to do is ti put columns of diferent type one next to another.

    For example i have to make an analysis where i must count sold items  by item and show it by item color. Hope you understand

                                                             Number of sold items         |               Items by color

                                                           Item 1              Item2             |             Red              White

    State     City     Store               Count(item1)      Count(item2)     |       count(item red)     count(item white)

    Use of information drives data design ... you either have to store a summary (physical)  like that and/or your model (logical) has to support such use ...

    Hi,

    I would look into case (function) or bins for this, you can do; -

    sum(case when YourDimension.Colour = 'White' then '1' else 0 end)

    Or the equivalent using Bins.

    Or as Thomas rightly says, the best way is to do it in the rpd, creating a specialised measure using equivalent case logic to give you count by white (etc)

    what sort of field that you need in the pivot table? robert and Thomas, presented to you all sort of fields, you should be more specific

    I will certainly try every option you said, thank you very much, I will not close the question for now because i will probably have more things to ask for this subject.
