# Adjusting the Cross Tab table

You can fine-tune the appearance of the Cross Tab results table by using the options in the Configuration section of the component's edit view.

After you have initially configured the Cross Tab table, you can use the Configuration section to make adjustments to the appearance of the table.

As you make changes, you can see their effects on the table by checking the preview table at the bottom of the edit view.

To make adjustments to the Cross Tab table:

1. Access the Cross Tab edit view for your Cross Tab component. The Configuration section is displayed, as in the example above.
2. In the Metrics section, you can configure general metric options by clicking the ... button in the top right corner of the panel to launch its formatting options:

   - Metric Orientation lets you change the axis on which metrics are displayed.
   - Bottom Row Totals and Right Column Totals let you add metric totals to the table.
   Note: Totals are computed using the same aggregating function as the original metric. For example, metrics computed using the average function (AVG) display an overall average for the Total. Because totals may be confusing in cases where the ARB function is used, you may not want to display totals in such cases.
3. Also in the Metrics section, you can configure individual metric by clicking the ... button on its label to access its formatting options:

   - Metric Display Name lets you specify the display name for the metric.
   - Format specifies in what format the value is displayed in the table: `Integer`, `Currency`, or `Decimal`. The Formatter Options section provides output formatting options that are appropriate to the format type.
4. Another Metrics section feature lets you drag metrics to reorder them. You can also remove a metric from the Cross Tab result table display by unchecking it. Note that to improve performance, if you do not want to display a metric, it is better to remove it from the Analytics statement than it is to uncheck it.

5. In the Row Group and Column Group sections, you can drag items anywhere in the row and column panels. Each GROUP BY item contains a toggle that can be used to set ascending or descending order.

6. The View Options dialog lets you modify the dimensions (in pixels) of the Cross Tab table and its window. Make sure you click Update to apply your changes to the table.
