Showing All Generations


Generation filters present varying depths of detail in the chart. By default, all generations are shown. Generation filters are mutually exclusive; only one can be selected at a time. The Show all generations option displays data for each dimension member as well as totals for all generations.

To show all generations in a chart:

  1. Select Chart > Options... in the menu bar.
    The Chart Options dialog box appears.
  2. Under the Generation Filter section, select the Show all generations check box.
  3. Click the OK button to close the dialog box and implement the changes.
    The application updates to reflect the changes.

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

Note

When all the generations appear, the chart can become very difficult to read since there may not be room for all dimension headings. Additionally, it is possible to accidentally double count the data, since the data appears for each dimension member and for the dimension total.
