Nest rows or columns

You can nest rows and columns in an Exploration View to compare information from more than one dimension in a column or row. For example, an Exploration View shows the sales by product line for the past fiscal year. You can nest a row to further break down the sales by order method.

You can also nest columns in a list.

In the overview area, you can drag the boxes that represent the nested items to change the nesting order.

Procedure

  1. In the source tree, click the item that you want to insert. You can select a dimension, a set, or one or more members in a dimension.
  2. Drag the item to the location in the Rows or Columns drop zone that you want. Or drag the item onto the exploration in the location that you want.

    A highlight bar indicates where you can drop the item.
