Analytic View Data Viewer

The Analytic View Data Viewer consists of an analytic view query builder and the SELECT statement of the query. After you execute the query, the Data and Graph pages display the values returned by the query.

Query Page

Use the analytic view query builder to specify the measures and hierarchy members to include in a query. The SQL SELECT statement for the query appears below the query builder and dynamically reflects any changes you make in the query builder.

The analytic view query builder initially displays the following:

• The “For selected measures measures” line that contains the underlined names of the selected measures of the analytic view.

• For each hierarchy of the analytic view:

  • A line that contains the underlined member classification to display.

  • A line that filters the hierarchy members to include in the query.

    The line contains an underlined value that specifies the IN or NOT IN predicate and the underlined names of the levels to include.

You can modify the initial selection of values in the query builder by adding measures, calculated measures, hierarchies, and level members to the selection or removing them from it.

To execute the query:

• Click Run ().

To add or remove a measure:

1. Click the underlined selected measures.

2. In the Measure Selection dialog box, select additional measures or calculated measures to include or deselect the ones to exclude.

To include or exclude a hierarchy from the selection:

• Select or deselect the check box in the “For dimension_name dimension...” line.

To change the member classification:

• In the hierarchy selection, click the underlined classification and select a different classification.

To add a level selection for a hierarchy:

1. Select the line for the hierarchy.

2. Click Add Selection ().

3. Select Add HIERARCHY Level Selection.

To remove a level selection from the query:

2. Click Remove Selection ().

To change the IN predicate in the level selection:

2. Select either IN or NOT IN.

To change the levels in the level selection:

1. Click the underlined selected levels.

2. Move the levels to include from the Available Levels section to the Selected Levels section.

3. Move the levels to exclude from the Selected Levels section to the Available Levels section.

4. Click OK.

To filter the member selection:

1. Select either line of a hierarchy member selection.

2. Click Add Selection ().

After you run the query specified on the Query page, this page displays the selected analytic view data in a tabular format.

You can reorder the columns by dragging and dropping them.

Graph Page

After you run the query specified on the Query page, this page displays the selected analytic view data in a graphical format. A tool bar enables you to make temporary changes to the graph. The text tools are disabled. You can use these tools:.
