A **Matrix report** allows to group and summarize data by both rows and columns. 

Matrix report uses two or more Dimensions (non-numeric and dates fields) in **Row Fields** and **Column fields **to group data. The summary/aggregation calculation is performed on Measures (numeric fields) that are added to **Data fields**. This type of report resembles a pivot table created in Excel.

> ℹ️ At least one Row, Column and Data field is required to create a Matrix report.

## Steps to create Matrix Report
