Working with the grids…
Grid Layout
Operations are revealed by mouse hovering. Dimension operations Member operations Grid operations

dimension/s name/s
Y axis dimension members
X axis dimension members
Rotating the Grid Axes (Pivoting)
You can reverse, or rotate,the Axes of dimensions already in the crosstab byusing the Rotate button on the left upper Corner of the crosstab
Drilling Up or Down
Use To drill up
Use To drill down
You can drill from Year, a summary value, to Quarter, a more detailed list of data, to Month, an even more detailed list of data.
Conversely, you can drill up to summarize data. To continue the preceding example, you can drill up from the
Month level to see the monthly data summarized at the Quarter level. Similarly, you can drill up from Quarter to Year to summarize the quarterly data.
Drilling Up or Down There are two methods used to drill
down by a dimension member in the grid.
Click on the + icon next to the member name
Double-click on the member name To drill up by a dimension member:
Click on the - icon next to the parent member name
Double click the parent member name
Dimensions Menu

Focusing on Specific Data
Focusing on Specific Data
Slicing Selecting specific
members Hiding specific members
I only need to know how the sales in Q3.Can I see only part of the data?
Selecting Members – Using the Member Menu
Click arrow to open members menu
Click members to select. Use CTRL for multiple selection.
Can choose to hide or show only selected members

Note the checkboxes: Allow drill down on selected members- determines if you will be able to drill down to lower levels in the Hierarchy Show caption – only the member name – when removed, shows the parents.
Selecting Members – Using SetsAllows reuse of selections later or in another view/WorkBoard
Save the set with a recognizable name
Selecting Members – Using SetsChoose an existing set from this option, only sets relevant to the current dimension will be displayed
The set shows in the same way as any other selection
Slicing - Filtering data by Dimension Members
Click to slice data
Move the mouse over a filter name - relevant views will be highlighted
When maximized, only relevant filters will be displayed
Slicing You can select multiple members from
different dimensions
Click to slice data
Select a dimension and a member to filter by
Selected filters are displayed here
Selected filters are displayed in the parenthesis
Click to Apply
Search for a member within the dimension
Slicing - options

Click to remove the dimension (it is still available to choose from the All Slicers)
Click to show only the members that have data, according to the current slicing
Slicing To Filter the crosstab: 1. Display the Filter pane 2. Click on dimension to expand and expose its members 3. Select the member you wish to filter by. 4. Click Apply from the main area or from the Filter pane
to apply the selected filter, or select a different member from other available dimensions. Once a filter is applied, note that the filtered members are
displayed in the header You can always access the dimensions and display the
member by clicking on the members name from the header. This will open up the dimension and display the member selected.
Exercise 2 – Concentrating on Specific Data
Select Dimension members Select values Slice (filter) the data Create a Set and share it with a friend to reuse
Sorting and Filtering
Examining Values
Sorting Filtering values
In what months do we sell the most?
Member’s Menu – Sort bySort by selected member
Switch sort order ascending or descending
Remove sort and return to original order
Member’s Menu – Value Filter
Sort – sorts all valuesFilter –sorts and filters
Indication that grid has been filtered and sorted
Member’s Menu –Value Filter by
Dimension level to apply filter to
Member’s Menu –Filter by Value…
In the Filter menu, you will also find the Value Filter by … option. This option enables advanced filtering based on the values displayed in the grid. For example: you can set the number of Top/bottom items filter by top/bottom percent displayed, or show values that are greater than or less than a specific value.
The At level checkbox enables you to specify at which level of the hierarchy the filtering will be applied. For example, the “Time” dimension includes the levels “year”, “quarter” and “month”, you can choose which of these levels to apply the filter on.
Member’s Menu –ReorderReorder allows you to change the default layout of the members
