It's a drag-and-drop UI for grouping items in a table by category. Plenty of quick videos on YT since business users generally struggle to grasp it. Here's one example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu-AK0Hv0b4

It's paradoxically very useful and complete garbage at the same time, IMHO



Why garbage? It has limitations but is incredibly useful for what it is


It's just that the limitations feel like whoever was implementing it walked away from it before they were finished to work on a different project. It could be much better than it is. It's way too brittle and the UX for more advanced aggregations is downright painful.


Ya… I fee that. The only high quality ones on the web too are proprietary. Im using the plotly react pivot that gets the job done, but doesnt even compete with excel… 2010 edition . Would love a killer end all pivot integration.

I have no idea what the ideal UX is, i just know that whatever I got aint it
