# Cross Tab

The Cross Tab component provides a table that allows end users to perform comparisons and identify trends across several cross sections of data.

A cross tab consists of a specific configuration of rows, columns, and summary cells that together make up the table body. The values displayed in the header rows and columns represent every possible grouping value of the specified data fields. Summary cells exist at the intersection of rows and columns. The value of a given summary cell is a metric corresponding to the intersection of those two groupings.

Note: This component requires the use of Endeca Analytics.
