Easy grid tables and forms using pivot_table

One of the most frequently requested features I’m faced with is the ability to display tabular data in a grid which resembles an Excel pivot table. If you’re not familiar with the pivot table concept, take a look here.

I have yet to find a gem that makes this easy, so I’ve created my own. Introducing pivot_table.

The gem is self-explanatory, but still fairly young, so feel free to fork and update to suite your own needs.

Here’s a screenshot of what you can easily accomplish with this gem.

The gem will evolve along with my application’s needs, but I’d appreciate any additional help or feedback.

Simples.
