Figure 6-50 shows the perspective chart with
the data point attributes set. With these new settings, it is obvious that all the items
near the top of the chart are bikes. Most of the items along the right-hand side of the
chart are accessories, with one or two clothing items there as well. It should be noted
that many clothing items, and a number of bikes, are also towards the lower lefthand
corner, which represents the worst of the worst. Figure 6-50 also shows sliders
that have been moved. The top slider shows that 82% of the gross profit margin is
generated by the items to the right of the line, and the right slider shows that nearly
40% of the gross profit is generated by the few items above the line.
Changes to the Perspective can be accomplished relatively easily. Right-clicking
on a blank part of the chart and selecting Perspective Properties will allow the user
to change colors, fonts, and so forth. The properties window will also allow the
user to change the size of the data points so that the indicators are smaller or larger
depending on needs. Right-clicking also shows an option named Configure Axes
Figure 6-49 The Data Point Attributes dialog box allows users to assign colors and shapes
to various dimension members.

which lets the user change the measure on each axis, but there??™s an easier way as
well: each Axis has a small button next to the measure name which, when pressed,
will show a list of all the measures.
