Insert items from multiple levels of a dimension

For a mixed comparison, use selection-based sets to position items adjacent to each other in an Exploration View.

For example, you can select items from a single dimension in the source tree. You can select both contiguous and noncontiguous items from different levels.

After you select items, you can drag the items to the Exploration View.

For groups of items that you use frequently, you can create a custom set to make selection of them easier. For more information, see Create and edit a set.

Procedure

  1. In the source tree, expand the dimension to locate the items that you want to insert.
  2. Press Shift+click or Ctrl+click to select multiple items in a dimension and then drag them to the Exploration View.
    Tip: When selecting multiple items, the selected items are placed in the Exploration View in the order that you click them. To avoid rearranging items after you drag and drop them into the Exploration View, click the items in the desired order of placement.

Results

A selection-based set appears in the Exploration View.
