Row Axis − This shows dimensions or hierarchical values in OLAP data source.
Column Axis − This shows column data.
Background Filter − This is used to apply filters on the background value.

In a workspace, an empty crosstab is placed. To add the data, you add dimensions and hierarchies from the metadata explorer to the crosstab.

When you place one measure on the crosstab, the data is shown in the crosstab and you can then proceed to perform the analysis by adding different features available in the tool.
