Abstract
An enhanced user experience is disclosed herein that provides for gesture-based configuring of pivot tables. In various implementations, a pivot table includes query areas associated with fields of a data table being summarized by the pivot table. Gestures made with respect to an area of the pivot table drive changes in the association of the fields of the data table with the query areas of the pivot table. As user input is received with respect to an area of the pivot table, relevant fields are identified, and new associations are made between the query areas and the fields. The pivot table may then be updated accordingly based on the new associations.
