don't want to display "Operation type" in my pivot table
Asked by Sadeesh Narendran:

Hi,

I am trying to create a pivot table in that I don't want to display "Operation type" (Sum / Count/ Average / Literal) in my pivot table.

I want to remove Operation type in my pivot table view.

![pivot table setting.JPG](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150818i2D65C8A5ACF40ED3/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "pivot table setting.JPG")

Is there a way to do it permanently? Any help is appreciated!

I tried editing the settings but its not working

Thanks!

We can suggest hiding the whole pivot panel into the view mode: go to the Pivot Table macro settings -\> Options tab -\> Hide control panel.

![Sun 1-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150886i9713F33405F04508/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Sun 1-1.png")

If you want to organize your result pivot table into a better way, you may rename its Operational type column - wrap your Pivot Table macro into the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/display/public/TFAC/How+to+use+Table+Transformer+macro) macro and use the following SQL query:

![Sun 1-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150887iCA7AF80E85344254/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Sun 1-2.png")

SELECT T1.'Status', T1.'Count' AS 'Whatever name you want'  
FROM T\*

![Sun 1-3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150888i4F635667BBC5F2D1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Sun 1-3.png")

If you don't want to show this column in the result table at all, just don't list it in you SQL query. For example, "SELECT T1.'Status' FROM T\*" will publish only the first "Status" column.

Hope it may help your case.

body: Hi [@Sadeesh Narendran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4412162) ,

Please try the following option: wrap your Pivot Table into the Table Filter macro.

Here is your two-dimensional pivot:

![Mon 4-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150968i40BB4B4093031D95/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 4-1.png")

Now you go the the Table Filter macro settings -\> Filters tab and check the Hide columns option:

![Mon 4-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150969iDE660E50A654CAA5/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 4-2.png")

And navigate to the Filtration tab -\> Set filters' default values and choose the last column which you want to hide:

![Mon 4-3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/150970i3C7D8F52BA9A4088/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Mon 4-3.png")

So, the structure of your pivot table will be preserved.

body: [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) Thanks for your step by step explanation. I did followed all your steps but Im not getting that column "Literal of Release Date" to hide.

![Literal Capture.JPG](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/151203i759131A2B65DB876/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Literal Capture.JPG")


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Hi [@Sadeesh Narendran](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/4412162) , it's a strange situation - if you see the column into the Pivot Table macro, it should be also visible via the Table Filter macro.

So, please, check the version of your app - the current one is 7.6.5.

And raise a support request [here](https://jsd.stiltsoft.com/servicedesk/customer/portal/2/user/login?destination=portal%2F2). Please attach your page storage format: upper right corner of the page \> menu ... \> View page storage format.


author: Sadeesh Narendran
body: [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) ours is 7.4.4


author: Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}
body: Please update the app and check if the issue is still present.

If yes, then create a support request - I've warned our support team about the issue.


author: Sadeesh Narendran

Thanks for ur help!

body: Hi Team

Please update on Above issue , I am facing similar situation . Would like to rename the columns (Sum of), But not seeing any options for renaming or Hide the columns .


author: Katerina Rudkovskaya [Stiltsoft]
body: Hi @\[deleted\],  

To rename the columns, you'll need to wrap your Pivot Table macro in the [Table Transformer](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-transformer-macro-42241552.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro.  

On Confluence Server/Data Center you can do it directly and on Confluence Cloud you need the [Table Toolbox](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-toolbox-macro-42245927.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro to nest macros.  

To hide unwanted columns, use the [Table Filter](https://docs.stiltsoft.com/tfac/cloud/how-to-use-table-filter-macro-42239756.html?utm_source=atl_community&utm_medium=answer&utm_campaign=table-filter-traffic-sources&utm_vendorID=1216111) macro on top. The "Hide column" option was moved to a different place in the new macro UI.  

Please check the screenshot below:  

![Tue 11-1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/269796iC0B3EF41B765ABD0/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tue 11-1.png")  

Click on the Add filter button, choose the Hide columns filter type, and hit the Add button.  
Now simply add the columns that you want to hide:  

![Tue 11-2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/269797i1C9892E634979A9B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Tue 11-2.png")  

Hope it helps your case.

++**Is it some issue or I am missing something. ?**++

body: Seems that your Pivot looks not like mine, please attach a screenshot of the Pivot Table macro settings. It seems that you use the Name column twice and get a kinda strange aggregation: first in one column, than in two columns divided by teams.

And again in the initial example you should hide the Literal of Name column. So, maybe give a structure of the result table that you want to achieve.

Seems that the result table looks exactly as you need.

I was trying to make each team member name in different rows actually and spent some hours, but I guess that is not possible ?

But this is really amazing and simple to go ahead with ? .

Thank you [@Katerina Kovriga {Stiltsoft}](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1464746) ? ? .
