Distribution enables the user to keep a set of values in the table, which constitute certain percent (or number) from the total sum of all values of the selected column. Remaining elements will be shown as the total sum.
NOTE. Distribution is available only for values in one column or in one row of the table. If distribution is set up for the other table column or row, the current distribution is disabled.
Distribution is set by the number, percentage or sum for the top or the bottom elements:
Count. It keeps in the table the top or the bottom N elements of column or row. For example, the Top 10 Elements option keeps 10 elements with greatest values. Remaining elements are displayed as the common sum.
Percents. It keeps a set of values in the table, which constitute N% from the total sum of all values of the selected column or row. For example, the Top 80% option keeps the elements, which sum is 80% of the sum of all values. Remaining elements (20%) are displayed as the common sum.
Sum. It keeps in the table a set of values, which sum is less or equal to the specified number N. For example, the Sum of Bottom Elements <= 100 option keeps the least elements, which sum is not greater than 100. Remaining elements are displayed as the common sum.
Top. Distribution will show elements with greatest values. The fill is blue by default.
Bottom. Distribution will show elements with least values. The fill is orange by default.
