# Orienting pivot table values
Display orientation

You can choose to display a pivot table in a columnar or row-based format. Columnar is the default. When you change to a row-based format, a column with the value name is added to the right of the row header column.

**To change a pivot table format**

1. On the analysis page, choose the pivot table visual that you want to edit.

1. Expand the **Field wells** pane by choosing the field wells at the top of the visual.

1. On the **Values** field well, choose one of the following options:
   + Choose **Column** for a columnar format.
   + Choose **Row** for a row format.
**Note**  
If you use only one metric, you can eliminate the repeated header by formatting the visual and styling it with the **Hide single metric** option.
