Represents all possible column types in a pivot table structure.

Think of a pivot table as having these column types from left to right: 1. \*\*Attribute columns\*\* - Show row grouping labels (like "Country", "City") 2. \*\*Measure header column\*\* - Shows measure names (only when measures are in rows) 3. \*\*Value/Total columns\*\* - Show actual numbers and totals

The exact combination depends on your data setup:

\*\*When measures are in columns (normal pivot table):\*\*
