# Grid

In ViewZen Analytics, tables are an essential visual component used to present data in a structured, grid-like format. They offer an intuitive way to display detailed information, allowing users to see and analyze large sets of data in rows and columns. Tables are widely used for both numeric and categorical data representation.

### Use Cases for Tables

* Displaying Transactional data
* Detailed sales data for each product, region, or salesperson

### Grids Supported in ViewZen Analytics

In ViewZen Analytics, two types of grids are available

* **Data Grids -** These grids are used to display raw data directly from the dataset. They allow users to view individual records, making them ideal for detailed data analysis. Data grids provide the flexibility to show large volumes of data with the ability to sort and filter through records, providing a clear view of the underlying dataset.
* **Aggregate Grids -** These grids summarize the data by applying aggregation functions such as sum, average, count, or other calculated metrics. They are designed to offer an overview of the data, showing aggregated insights at a higher level. Aggregate grids are often used for reporting purposes or to identify trends in the data without needing to view every individual record.
