dimension hierarchy could be placed in the Background panel and then just the
Bikes member selected. This would filter the entire report without having to actually
display Bikes on the bottom axis or as part of the series.
Once the Analytic Chart has been created, it appears static in the Design pane.
However, there is a Browse button that opens the report in a viewer window, and
once this is rendered, the report contains some limited interactivity. Specifically, the
bars of the chart are live, clickable regions. Clicking on a bar drills down one level in
the hierarchy that is placed in the series. Given that in this example, a measure was
placed in the Series, there??™s no drill down available. However, users can right-click on
a bar, choose Drill Down To, and then drill down on any dimension. The user can also
basically switch the report from drilling down on the dimension in the series to the
one in the bottom axis by right-clicking on a bar and selecting Switch To, followed by
the name of the hierarchy. For example, the chart shown in Figure 5-26 has eight bars
representing the quarters of 2002 and 2003. If the user uses Switch To in order to select
the Time hierarchy, then clicking on one of those bars drills down from that particular
quarter to the three months that make up that quarter. Clicking on a bar for the month
drills down to the individual days for that month. The drilldown path is determined
by the hierarchy structure; in this case, the Date.
