Figure 6-33 shows a simple view in which the measure is gross profit, the Product
Categories hierarchy is on the rows, and the Date.Calendar hierarchy is on the
columns. Clicking on a bar drills down on the first hierarchy listed in the rows, and
right-clicking on a bar provides a pop-up menu that allows users to drill down on
other dimensions. Alternately, to drill down on the dimension on the columns, the
user can click the label along the X-axis. For example, clicking on the label CY 2003
in Figure 6-33 would drill down on the year 2003.
Figure 6-32 Searching the Customer Geography dimension for the word Monica brings
back customers named Monica, but also a city with the word Monica in it.

Hovering over a particular bar will highlight that bar and all the matching bars on
the view. For example, Figure 6-33 shows the same three product subcategories for
four different years. A user who hovers the mouse over the Mountain Bikes bar will
highlight the Mountain Bikes bar in all four years, dimming all other bars. A user
can also hover over the text in the legend; in this example, hovering over the words
Touring Bikes along the right-side of the chart will highlight all the Touring Bikes
bars. Users can click on the text in the legend to drill down, which works just like
clicking on one of the bars.
On the toolbar is a button labeled View.
