Hi, 

I would like to filter the metrics in a table so I have the option of only showing totals. 

User would then toggle between the summary and detailed view via a button on a board. 

How can it be done?

Hi There!

In Pigment, you can’t “filter metrics to show only totals” within a single Table view, because totals are a display setting and they’re calculated from whatever metrics are included in that view (they aren’t a separate “totals-only” metric filter you can toggle).

Best practice workaround: create 2 saved Views + switch between them from the Board
 

  • Create a “Summary / Totals” View
    • Keep only the few KPI metrics you want at summary level (remove the detailed metrics from the view).
    • In the View settings, enable Totals on first row (and/or column totals depending on your layout).
       
  • Create a “Detailed” View
    • Include the full metric list and the same pivots/filters you need for analysis.
       
  • On the Board, add navigation/buttons to open the table in each View
    • One button/link for Summary
    • One button/link for Detailed

 

This gives end users a clean “toggle” experience and is usually better for performance than trying to keep everything in one view and hiding/showing items.

Hi Chris,

Can this be achieved thanks to hierarchy tree views?

Here is a table with 3 metrics using 3 dimensions.

That the summary level, I have only my totals
