When a [pivot](#pivoting) is applied, an additional section with pivot dimensions appears.

## Filling in missing rows

A time-series query only returns rows for date buckets that actually contain
data. If no orders were created in a given month, that month is simply absent
from the result — which reads as a misleading gap in tables and charts. Fill
in missing rows densifies the result so every date bucket in the range is
present.

To apply it, hover over the header of a time dimension column in the results
table, expand the context menu, and select **Fill in missing rows**. To turn
it off, select **Stop filling missing rows** from the same menu. While the
fill is active, an icon on the column header indicates it.

</Frame>

The fill works on time dimensions with a year, quarter, month, week, or day
granularity. The date range comes from the date filters on that dimension, or
from the earliest and latest dates in the data. In added rows, additive
measures such as counts and sums are set to `0`; other measures are left
empty.

The fill doesn't change the query or the generated SQL — the missing rows are
added when the report is rendered. It is saved with the report and applies
everywhere it appears, including [dashboards][ref-dashboards].

<Info>

The fill is skipped when it would produce more than 10,000 rows. When that
happens, the column header indicator warns you.

## Inspecting queries

Every query in the Semantic Query tab can be inspected as code. Open the SQL panel via the **SQL** button in the top-right toolbar to see the query that the workbook generates, switch between representations, and copy it for use elsewhere.
