Worksheet Slide

The default slide shown when creating any new pack

When first opened it will contain a column with the dataset label property displayed and in Hierarchy mode, where the nodes are also displayed in hierarchy order

image

There are options for adding properties:

  1. Columns
  2. Rows
  3. Show Column Totals

With these options, you have control over the Properties that are displayed and the data that is shown for each Property

Once properties have been added and / or cell values edited the worksheet will have a number of visual elements to highlight certain property types or changes

It contains:

alt text

  1. Columns may be added using the Add Property control on the Right-hand Panel
  2. Rows may be added using the Add Row Property button
  3. Column totals may be added using the Show Column Totals checkbox
  4. The add property button shown when hovering between columns can also be used to add additional properties into the worksheet at the selected location
  5. The Label Property is the first column and automatically present on the worksheet
  6. The Info icon will be shown in the column header when hovering the cursor. Selecting this icon will display a pop up window providing further detail on the property
  7. Aggregate measures will display with the selected aggregate method label in the column header but this may be hidden if required
  8. Pack Properties will be shown with the settings cog to enable the saved expression to be edited
  9. Read Only properties will display with columns greyed out
  10. Worksheet Columns Menu
  11. Active cell will be shown highlighted with blue cell border
  12. Updated cell value
  13. Deleted cell value
  14. New cell value

Add Column Propertyโ€‹

Additional properties can be displayed on the worksheet by using the Add Property button and following these steps

image

  1. Select the Add Property button
  2. Use the property selector to scroll or search for required properties and select them
  3. Properties will appear as columns on worksheet in the order they are added
  4. Added properties also confirmed on slide panel

or

Use the Add Column button on the worksheet to insert a column property between the selected properties

Add aggregate propertyโ€‹

You can also add automated roll-up calculations (aggregate) to property columns that display the aggregate of the property for descendants using the aggregate selection menu that opens from the property selection panel

alt text

For measure properties you can choose from the following options:

  • Average (AVG) The average of the current data grouping
  • Sum (SUM) The sum of the current data grouping
  • Minimum (MIN) The lowest value in the current data grouping
  • Maximum (MAX) The highest value in the current data grouping
  • Range (RNG) The delta value between min and max in the current data grouping
  • Count (CNT) The count of non-blank nodes in the current data grouping
  • Bucket Count (CNTD) Provides a distinct count of property values for nodes in the current data grouping

For dimension properties the options are limited to:

  • Count (CNT) The count of non-blank nodes in the current data grouping
  • Bucket Count (CNTD) Provides a distinct count of property values for nodes in the current data grouping
tip

When adding Aggregate properties to a worksheet the values presented will be dynamically updated as a result of the currently applied data grouping e.g. hierarchical, filters or row properties
This means that any Aggregate properties are always evaluated post filter

Hide Show Aggregate Labelโ€‹

When adding an aggregated property to a worksheet the aggregation method is automatically shown in the column header. You can choose to hide this aggregation label if you prefer by selecting the option in the Columns Menu

Any aggregation labels previously hidden can be shown be selecting the option in the Columns Menu again

alt text

Worksheet columns menuโ€‹

Selecting the 3 dots (more options) menu in the heading cell of a property will open an additional menu

There are a number of options available, depending on the property you select

image

You can:

  1. Manage Property
  2. Bars and Heatmap
  3. Sort by
  4. Auto resize
  5. Move column
  6. Remove column
  7. Hide Aggregate
info

Bars and Heatmap's are available on measure properties only

Autosize Columnsโ€‹

The Autosize function can be applied to either one column or all columns

  • Autosize This Column: adjusts visible width of a specific column to autofit contents
  • Autosize All Columns: adjusts visible width of all columns to autofit contents

image

Sort byโ€‹

The Sort function applies a sort to the selected column with the option of either:

  1. Ascending: Sorts properties in ascending value e.g. A-Z, 1-10
  2. Descending: Sorts properties in descending value e.g. Z-A, 10-1
  3. Add to sort ascending
  4. Add to sort descending
  5. Remove from sort
  6. Reset all sorting

alt text

Sort-By Then-Byโ€‹

It is possible to Sort Columns in a Worksheet sequentially so that the Worksheet is sorted by one column property then by a second column and then a third and so on

Sort the first column as required using either the sort menu or left clicking in the header

The add the next column to be sorted by either CTRL + Click the column header or select Add to sort from the column menu

Add further column sorts if required by repeating the steps

The order in which columns are shown on worksheet determines the sort order

Use CMD + Click for Mac keyboard shortcut

Bars and Heatmap Optionsโ€‹

It is also possible to add visualizations for measure properties within Worksheet cells as:

image

Barsโ€‹

Select the Bars menu option to re-render the column so that all cells contain not only the numerical value for each row, but also an accompanying Bar visualization, sized relative to other rows within the column

Heatmapโ€‹

Selecting the Heatmap menu option will apply a heat map color palette to all cells within the selected column

Bars and Heatmapโ€‹

Selecting Bars and Heatmap is similar to having selected only Bars but with the addition of the Heatmap color palette being applied to the bars

info

Bar and Heatmap visualizations within the Worksheet use a pre-defined color palette which is not user defined, and therefore not editable via the standard color controls of the application

Bars and Heatmap when displayed with Row Properties will be shown on the aggregated rows only and not individual nodes

Add Row Propertiesโ€‹

Selecting the Add Property function in the Rows section of the slide panel allows you to select the property you wish to group your data by

  1. By default, all rows will be shown collapsed under the selected Grouped by property
  2. With your data grouped by the selected property, any columns added as standard properties will only be visible with rows expanded
  3. Individual groups may be expanded to view nodes within the row categories
  4. Using the level control it is possible to expand all rows
  5. The label column will update to reflect row property selected

alt text

In this example, data is grouped by Department, with the current salary property added as multiple aggregate measures

When adding Row properties the label column will automatically update to reflect the chosen row properties

alt text

Show Column Totalsโ€‹

Only available when at least one Aggregate Property and a Row property are added to your worksheet

Selecting the Show Column Totals checkbox will add a total row to the top of your worksheet

alt text

Depending on the aggregate measure displayed in the column the total row will show different values

  • Average (AVG) The average of the current data grouping
  • Sum (SUM) The sum of the current data grouping
  • Minimum (MIN) The lowest value in the current data grouping
  • Maximum (MAX) The highest value in the current data grouping
  • Range (RNG) The delta value between min and max in the current data grouping
  • Count (CNT) The count of non-blank nodes in the current data grouping
  • Bucket Count (CNTD) Provides a distinct count of property values for nodes in the current data grouping

For dimension properties the options are limited to:

  • Count (CNT) The count of non-blank nodes in the current data grouping
  • Bucket Count (CNTD) Provides a distinct count of property values for nodes in the current data grouping
tip

When adding Column Totals to a worksheet the values presented will be dynamically updated as a result of the currently applied data grouping e.g. filters or paging
This means that any Aggregate properties are always evaluated post filter

Move Columnโ€‹
