Depending on the type selected and the number of available dimensions, the rendering is delegated to the map chart, category chart, XY chart, or table element. If the number of selected dimensions outnumbers the respective number in the selected visualization, the exceeding dimensions and measures are ignored. The values are assigned from left to right. For example, if a pivot table with 4 dimensions and 3 measures is drawn as a category chart with only 2 dimensions and one measure, then the chart is drawn using the first two dimensions and the first measure from the pivot table's columns.

Default value: Table. The output is drawn in tabular form, displaying all selected columns of the pivot table.
