I am trying to understand the difference between the three measures types variable,pivot and argument which I see available in the OpenStudio analysis spreadsheet.

To my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong) variable type measures are used for when you want to change a discrete value using an array of variables.

While arguement type measures are used when you simply want to run a measure which takes set arguements like Bool,Double, Integers and not an array of arguements?

However I noticed that some measures are pivot type such as the replace_open_studio_model measure - what exactly is a pivot type and when do I use it?

Any pointers on what is the difference between these measure types and when each is most appropriate would be greatly appreciated!
