Info

There are some technical limitations in the Table visualisation:

  • The maximum amount of columns (including breakdown if used) is 2 000

  • The maximum amount of rows (including breakdown if used) is 2 000

  • The maximum amount of cells is 120 000

If one tries to overtake this limit, an error message will be displayed.

This limitation adds up to the interactivity limit (see this page)

Special values and Flags

Under the table, the following items are always displayed:

  • Special values. Special values are values that can be present in the data cells. They do not represent statistical data, but they replace them. Existing special values are the following:

    • ":": When the colon is present, it means that there is no data available in this cell. For example:

      Image Added

      In this example, no data is available for Belgium in 2017.

  • Flags. Flags are metadata which provide additional information about a specific statistical data. When present, this additional information is required for a correct interpretation of the data. For example:

    Image Added

    In this example, the statistical data of Spain on 2018 (15 852.53) should be considered as provisional (because of the "(p)" flag).

...

Info

Flags can be combined:

In this example, the statistical data for European Union in 2017 (154 792.75) should be interpreted as being estimated and provisional altogether.

In order to add/remove positions to the table while in this mode, an additional menu is required. This menu is activated by clicking on the brush icon (Image Added). It renders a list showing to the user the current selection of positions. The ones currently highlighted and thus visible in the table are in bold. A position can be added/removed by clicking on its item in the list.

...

In case the table is accessed while there are no highlighted positions, the following rules will apply to ensure a baseline table is rendered:

...

Tip
  • In case of a non-GEO dimension, the serie having the highest value of the most recent time period is taken. So the table starts with one serie rendered.

  • For the GEO dimension (or with a related dimension) and in case aggregates are present in the selection, the most relevant EU and EA aggreates are selected. So the table starts with two series rendered.

  • For the GEO dimension (or with a related dimension) and in case no aggregates are present in the selection, again the serie having the highest value of the most recent time period is taken, first among the EU member states or then on the full selection. So the table starts with one serie rendered.

It is also possible to manage which positions are highlighted and which are not by using the dimension dropdowns (see this page for more information).

...

When the Summary mode is activated, the result is the following:

Image Added

  • The amount of positions selected in the “Selection” tab does not change. However, only the rows corresponding to the "Top 8 - Middle 8 - Bottom 8" rule exposed above will be displayed. All the other rows are masked.

  • A warning message is also displayed above the table (orange background). When clicking on it, or when clicking on the orange warningImage RemovedImage Added button, modal will be displayed, listing all the positions for which no row is currently displayed because of the Summary mode.

...

  • Position the cursor of the mouse on any boundary of the columns headings to make the resize icon image18 allImage RemovedImage Added appear.

  • Move the boundary to adjust the column width.

  • Double click on the boundary to minimise the column width.

  • Click on the title of the dimension in Row to change the sorting of the positions. Available sorting orders are:

    • Default sorting order, represented by sorting icon allImage RemovedImage Added (for example, the default sorting order for the GEO dimension is the Protocol order)

    • Descending (9→0) / Reversed alphabetical (Z → A) sorting order, represented by Image Added (appears on the extreme right of the header of the dimension in Row)

    • Ascending (0→9) / Alphabetical (A→Z) sorting order, represented by Image Added (appears on the extreme right of the header of the dimension in Row)

  • Click on the header of any column to sort all the displayed data on the basis of the data contained in this column. Available sorting orders are:

    • No sorting based on this column (default situation)

    • Descending (9→0) sorting order, represented by Image Added (appears next to the title of the column)

    • Ascending (0→9) sorting order, represented by  Image Added(appears next to the title of the column)

      Note


      Info

      Please notice that, when sorting, an absence of value (represented by ":") is considered as a value greater than any other value

Highlight options

In the Table visualisation, it is possible to use the highlight feature (see this page)

How do the highlighted positions appear in Table?

Info

It is only possible to highlight rows. Highlighting column positions is not possible.

To highlight a position, double-click on the gray cell header at the left of the row.
