5+ dynamic items of a dimension in column header

Hi,

Can we add more than 5 dynamic items of a dimension in column?  Don't seem to be possible yet, but I want to double check in case I didn't do it right.

Thanks!

Just to clarify, I believe you are talking about when you have a metric and you drag a dimension underneath it to filter:

And the result is the top 5 items:

It's worth noting, that these items, once added aren't really dynamic... if a new page type becomes popular (and has more hits than one of these), using my example above, let's use "podcast", I don't believe it will appear and push one of these out... these 5 items are now locked, the same way that dates in these positions are locked... 

Only dimensions in the left column update based on relevance (sorted by the selected metric).

You can have more than 5 items here, but they do need to be curated.

Hi Jenn!

Yes, that is exactly I am talking about.  This AA video explained that the column heading will be dynamic https://youtu.be/VWxgtOsqFbo (starting around 1:30). But I have not found ways to get more than 5 items.

Thank you!

Ah, actually, it looks like these columns are dynamic.. I use this functionality so infrequently...  I usually curate the columns for consistency, a lot of people get confused by having columns move around week to week or month to month... but I can see for some uses, this being handy.

It looks like if you use the Table Builder, you can specify 1, 5, 10 or 25 items:

Just remember, if you make any changes to the table outside of the builder, then it will revert to the original table builder configuration if you re-open the table builder...

Thanks Jenn!  You are always so helpful.  I see report builder is the way to go right now.  I wish it is also available in workspace.  I see a community advisor suggested this a few years back.  Hope it will be available soon 🙂
