Context
If you use multiple dimensions in your analysis,
you can display them as flat presentation or as hierarchy in the crosstab.
As of step three, the steps in the following
procedure are optional. You can use the options you need the define your view
on the data.
- Move at least two dimensions to the Rows section in the design panel.
Note Dimensions can also be moved to the
Columns
section. This procedure describes dimension in the
Rows
section. Dimensions in columns behave accordingly.
The dimensions
are displayed side by side in the crosstab.
- Change to hierarchical display.
Select a crosstab cell and
choose
.
The dimensions
in the crosstab are displayed as hierarchy. The first dimension in the
Rows
section is the first level in the hierarchy. Nodes with a
+ contain
subnodes.
- Expand/Collapse all nodes.
Select the cell with the
dimension name in the crosstab and choose
. The number of available dimensions depends
from the number of dimensions in the Rows section.
The hierarchy in
the crosstab is expanded according to your selection. To collapse the
hierarchy, choose the first dimension.
- Expand/Collapse a single node.
Select a node cell in the
crosstab that you want to expand and choose
.
The selected
node is expanded to the next dimension below. To collapse the subnodes of a
selected node, choose
. You can
also select the
+/- symbols
to expand and collapse a single node.
- Define the sequence of the dimensions
in the hierarchy.
The sequence of the
dimension in the
Rows
section determines their level in the hierarchy. The first dimension in the
design panel is the first level in the hierarchy. By using drag and drop, you
can move the dimensions up and down. The levels in the hierarchy are changed
immediately.
The hierarchy is
displayed from child level to parent level.
- Display the dimensions again as flat
presentation.
Select a crosstab cell and
choose
.
The dimensions
are again displayed side by side in the crosstab.
