Show or hide aggregate rows in reports

Some Matomo reports have the option to show aggregate rows, which are summary rows that combine metrics for a path and its child pages. By default, aggregate rows are hidden and Matomo removes (hides) these summary rows from the report view.

Show aggregate rows

1. Open the Matomo report.
2. Click the gear icon to display the settings options.
   
3. Under Aggregate rows are hidden, click Show them.
4. Matomo adds summary rows for paths that have child pages.

For example, /jobs/view is a summary row for pages under the /jobs/view/ path. The individual page URLs remain visible and aggregate rows appear in italics to distinguish them from individual pages.

Hide aggregate rows

1. Open the Matomo report.
2. Click the gear icon to display the settings options.
   
3. Under Aggregate rows are shown, click Hide them (default).
4. When aggregate rows are hidden, only the individual report rows are displayed.

For example, the default report view excludes the summary rows in the Pages report.

Does showing or hiding aggregate rows affect my data?

This setting only changes how the report is displayed. Showing aggregate rows adds summary rows to the report. Hiding them removes those summary rows from view. The underlying data remains unchanged.

Why do I see rows ending in ‘-Others’ in my report?

Rows ending in – Others group together child entries that Matomo does not display as individual rows. For example, this row /jobs/view - Others contains the combined metrics for pages under the /jobs/view path that are not shown separately in the report.

Instead of displaying every page under /jobs/view individually:

• /jobs/view/divemaster-20
• /jobs/view/padi-instructor-14
• /jobs/view/divemaster-trainee-3
• and many more

Matomo groups these pages into a single row. Showing or hiding aggregate rows does not affect rows ending in – Others as these rows appear regardless of the report view. Learn more on how to extract data from the ‘Others’ row.
