Using the Filter Axis


Placing one or more dimensions on the filter axis selects a subset of grid data for the chart. Dimension members can be filtered at any time; changing dimension members will affect the entire chart. For example, a Product dimension in the filter axis will display a chart for all product members.

To place a dimension on the filter axis:

  1. Select Chart > Axes Placement... from the menu bar. The Chart Types and Configuration dialog box appears, displaying the Axes Placement tab.
    Note

    You can also access the dialog from the chart's right-click menu. Select Chart Types.... from the right-click menu to bring up the dialog and then click the Axes Placement tab.

  2. Clear the Automatically assign chart axes check box if it is selected.
  3. Select filter from a dimension name's drop down list.
  4. Click the OK button to close the dialog box and implement the changes.
    The application updates immediately to reflect the changes.

When you click the Apply button the changes are implemented but the dialog box remains open.
