Displaying Parent Before or After Child


You can control the order of the appearance of parent and child members. The Data Options dialog box has a Parent position section with three choices for you to specify the position: Display parent after Child, Display parent before child, and Default parent placement.

When the Display parent after Child option is selected, the parent member will be displayed below (if a row) or to the right (if a column) of its child members.

When the Display parent before Child option is selected, the parent member will be displayed above (if a row) or to the left (if a column) of its child members.

After a selection has been made, click the OK button to close the dialog box and set this preference for future data navigation actions. Or click Apply to set the preference without closing the dialog box.

Note

The preference you set will not be reflected in your current GridBlox. This preference will be applied when a new query to the data is issued. That is, this preference will be reflected in your subsequent data navigation operations such as drill up or drill down.
