Multiple Dimensions columns in Adobe Workspace

It would be great to be able to have multiple dimension columns rather than having the information stacked. Currently whenever you breakdown dimensions it stacks this on a line by line basis which makes it harder to analyse and also looks messy for the end user.

hierarchical breakdown is possible....   select all the dimension rows and then drag and drop new dimension that you want to have a breakdown.... see the image below... hope this answers your query...

Santosh.. I think what we are hoping for is a cleaner crosstab view (like you get from reportbuilder)

Yes breakdowns are problematic when you really want your data as 2 dimensions side by side. You can more easily measure which 2 dimensions are the top combinations. With breakdowns you cannot do that at all as the sort is based on the parent

This is a great idea everyone, we are currently researching what we can do here. I will likely reach out to some of you to speak to more about this!

Here is another post describing this same feature request. I created it without knowing this already existed here in this 10152 post: Show workspace freeform table breakdowns in tabular format

I don't think this is what the feature request is asking. It's asking for tabular format, rather than nesting below. here is another post with a clearer example: Show workspace freeform table breakdowns in tabular format

Love this idea...so much that i actual made the exact same suggestion to our old tool vendor, Webtrends.

They also liked it but never made it.

Now we are at Adobe, and the argument is still that i can do a "Breakdown".

There are so many good use cases for having Dimension in a tabular view.

Think about a excel sheet. Imagine if there was only a option to include text in one Column !. That would be weird.

So why not adopt the same approach in Adobe Analytics.
