Clearly and Simply However, there is one thing you can’t do with Pivot Tables: create a cross-tabular view with texts in the value area. A real-life example should help to understand what I am talking about: Let’s assume you are managing a big project and you have a list of all existing project risks. The table includes the descriptions of the risks and you classified each of them using different categories like the risk impact (high, medium, low), the probability (very high, high, medium, low) and maybe the type of the risk, the subproject or the name of the responsible project member. If it is a large project with a considerable number of risks, you may be interested in a cross-tabular view of your risk list with e.g. the impact in the rows, the probabilities in the columns and maybe the option to filter the view by a third category like the risk type.

The creators of the graph (3 people who worked over a period of more than 3 months) claim they have gotten positive feedback from the "operational crowd", that is the people who actually "use" this to do their work. The target audiences are DoD "acquisition program managers" and "security people" who are responsible for complying with these policies, and DoD "acquisition security policy makers" who contribute to this rich policy universe. The chart was designed in Microsoft Visio , which enabled including hyperlinks from policy boxes to their full texts, making the graph interactive and more "than just wall art". In the future, they like to make the chart more interactive such that users could tick certain criteria and only the relevant policies would stay visible.
