Multi Comparative grid

The Multi Comparative can show any number of measures and date ranges.

In addition, filters can be applied to individual columns to focus on specific subsets of the data and/or apply equivalents.

Multi Comparative grid options

Explanation

Difference, percent change, mix, etc.

You can insert these columns by placing your cursor over a heading (e.g., This), clicking the menu icon , and selecting the column to add.

 

Filter column

Mouseover a column heading in the grid, click the menu icon , and select Filter Date Range. Then choose filter options.

Column headers

To customize the top-level header, click on it and choose Customize Header. This header can include date information and filter selections.

To replace This/Last headers with more information about the date range, go to Date Display under general settings (in explore mode).

Expand members

You can expand members to see subgroupings in the next dimension (if the widget has multiple Group By dimensions). The following methods are available:

Total and average rows

To show or hide a total row, average row, and/or subtotal (i.e., checked/unchecked) row, place your cursor over one of these rows and click the menu icon . Note that these rows show totals or averages for all members in the context—not just the current page.

Highlight data

In explore mode, you can highlight data in the grid. To access highlight settings, place your cursor over a column heading, click the drop-down arrow, and select Highlighting from the menu.

In grid settings (in explore mode):

- Grid type

The standard grid shows measures in columns and dimension members in rows that may be expanded into a tree hierarchy. Additional grid types are available, including a flat view that expands dimensions into separate columns, swapped rows and columns, and a scorecard. To change the grid type, go to grid settings in the toolkit.

- Grid page size or scrolling

In grid settings, you can choose how many members to show per page, or turn on infinite scrolling to show all members in a single page (not available if auto-expand is on).
