Tables

Tables are a great way to get granular on your data. Here's an example of a table:

table

You can click where it says "Book" at the top to choose any other attribute you'd like to see in the table. Common choices are "Author", "Series", "Transaction Type", and "Publication Year". Whatever you choose, each row of the table will represent each unique value of that attribute.

tip

By default the table is sorted by earnings, but you can click the column headers to sort by any other metric.

Compact​

The "Compact" checkmark changes the styling of the table to be more compact and scannable. This is what the compact table looks like:

The features of the compact table are:

  • Shorter rows.
  • Truncated titles.
  • Highest value in each column is highlighted.
  • Zeroes are faded.

Customization​

You can click the "Customize" button at the top right of the table, where you can select which columns you'd like:

Every metric available in Book Report is available to add to the table. You can also drag-and-drop the columns to reorder them.

There are three options available for each metric:

  • Always include: These columns will always be shown in the table.
  • Include if not zero: These columns will only be shown if there is data to display.
  • Never include: These columns will never be shown in the table.

Feel free to play around with these as much as you'd like - you can always click "Reset to defaults" to get back to where you started.

Download​

The download button will download the table as a CSV file. This file can be opened in any spreadsheet program, like Excel or Google Sheets.

If you find yourself regularly downloading the table to do further analysis, please send me an email! I would love to hear what you're doing with the data and how I can make it easier for you.
