    To build the heat map, define a color scale and change cell coloring based on their values — it is easy to do with the Flexmonster API. Refer to our blog post to find out more details on how to create a heat map. You can easily apply it to your business data — we have got you covered there. 

    Refer to the Customizing the grid cells guide to learn more about customizing the pivot table: alternate row colors, represent numbers by icons, add hyperlinks to cells, and more.
