To open the dimension dialog, select a dimension and click on "Edit", or double
click on the dimension label
For each dimension, you can control several aspects. You can define a different
method of sorting and case sensitivity for each single
dimension.
In addition to the classical ascending and descending sorting, it is also possible
to define
custom sorting, where the dimension values are arranged according to a specific
sequence provided by the user.
Other functionalities include
value filtering, that is the exclusion of some values
from the report, and
value grouping, which means that there are categories of values
defined and all values of a category are represented by a unique new substitutive
value.
Before adding any filtering or grouping, consider also the possibility to filter/group
the data at extraction level. To do that, click on Embedded Data Source > Edit/View
button which is on the Slice and Dice panel (left-bottom) and change appropriately
the SQL code.
