Generate cross-tabulation reports from Airtable linked records

Hello everyone,

At TypeFlow, I built a way to generate cross-tabulation tables (pivot tables) directly from Airtable linked records - no formulas, no scripts, no manual formatting.

You pick a linked record field as your data source, set a row field, a column field (any single select), and choose Count or Sum. TypeFlow reads the single select options from Airtable and generates the
columns dynamically. Add a new option in Airtable, it appears in the next document automatically.

It also supports grouped column headers - two levels of columns for more complex breakdowns. For example, Male/Female on top, then race categories underneath.

Here's a quick demo with two real use cases:

  • A garment supplier with a size-quantity grid (sizes as columns, styles as rows)

  • An HR compliance report with 191 employees grouped by occupational level, race, and gender

The table is generated inside your PDF, ready to send.

Happy to answer any questions.
