Changing the Chart Dimension Filter


The chart dimension filter appears when a dimension is set as a filter in the Axes Placement tab in the Chart Types and Configuration dialog box. Use this filter to change the view of the data on-the-fly.

The available chart dimension filters appear in a drop down list. For example, if Year is a dimension filter, the chart can present data for a given year or for any of its quarters.

To change the dimension member on which the data is filtered:

  1. Select Chart > Axes Placement... from the menu bar.
    The Chart Types and Configuration dialog 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. Click on the dimension drop down list.
  3. Select the new dimension from the 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.
