There are many cases where a Pivot table functionality would help get very powerful insights from the data.

This feature lets you create Pivot table, so for example you can see "For each Page URL, list all Referrers used" (each referrer is a new column in the Actions table). We need to add a new button to let user navigate through columns since there will be thousands of columns when Pivot table is enabled.

Pivot charts in GA are explained in this post and this one. See general overview

from an analytics view point i think matching omnitures method of reporting multiple columns is more advantageous. i can provide screens if you like . i magine a year report broken down by month where each month was a row then each column coul be a metric like pv or uv or vistit.

another option would be compare 5 columms for 1 metric where each column was top results again broken down by a row for each month....

pics will help clarify, this would be 10 times more useful than a pivot table.

we recently added Pivot table see in the API ref doc the parameters pivotBy and pivotByColumn but they're quite slow, so we could improve them sometime (post a comment if you use the pivotBy API parameters)

When we build this feature, we could re-use the Open source Data Explorer by Keen IO https://github.com/keen/explorer which provides a nice UI for building Custom Report.

Good news: we have now released the Custom Reports feature for Piwik!

Custom reports lets you choose which dimensions and metrics you want to see. You can combine multiple dimensions (up to 3) and as many metrics as you need.
The custom reports can be emailed to your partners or customers, and have their own menu entry in the Piwik report list. You can even setup advanced filters to further customise the reports.

Learn more about the power of Custom Reports in the user guide: https://piwik.org/docs/custom-reports/
or FAQ: https://piwik.org/faq/custom-reports/

This premium plugin can be purchased here: https://plugins.piwik.org/CustomReports
