Which column type can be used during run time to enhance report generation in NetSuite?

Matrix columns are a powerful feature in NetSuite that allows users to generate more dynamic and comprehensive reports during runtime. They enable the presentation of data in a two-dimensional format, where metrics can be compared across multiple dimensions. This functionality is particularly useful when you want to analyze data based on two different criteria simultaneously.

For example, a matrix column can display total sales for various products over different time periods, allowing users to quickly discern trends and make informed decisions. By offering the ability to switch dimensions interactively, matrix columns enhance the reporting experience by facilitating a deeper analysis of the underlying data.

In contrast, static columns only display fixed information, limiting the ability to analyze data contextually, whereas graphical columns focus on visual representations rather than data manipulation. Static summary columns provide predefined calculations but lack the dynamic features that matrix columns offer for real-time adjustments during report generation.
