by drill-through users. If a report can be customized, you use the Drill-Through Wizard to
customize it.
The Drill-Through Wizard is a graphical user interface that steps you through the following
customization tasks:
● Selecting columns to retrieve from the relational data source
Decide which columns from the predefined report you need to see.
● Selecting the display order for columns
Change the default display order of columns across the sheet.
● Selecting a sort order for data
Select an ascending or descending sort order for a particular column; for example, sort a list
of store managers in alphabetical order.
● Selecting data filters
Define a filter on a column so that only data meeting certain criteria is retrieved.
Before You Start
Before starting the tutorial, you should have a working familiarity with the Essbase product
through the use of the Spreadsheet Add-in interface. Review in this guide Chapter 3, “Basic
Tutorial” and Chapter 4, “Advanced Tutorial” as prerequisite reading.
A sample Essbase database is the basis for the examples in this tutorial. The database
administrator creates this sample Essbase database using the sample metaoutline supplied
withIntegration Services. For information on creating the Integration Services sample
application, which includes the sample metaoutline, see the Integration Services Console online
help. A sample spreadsheet file,
Essdt.xls, contains a sheet with the appropriate member
intersections for the sample drill-through report. For more information on the sample database,
spreadsheet file, and drill-through report, see “About the Samples Used in This Tutorial” on
page 168.
If you plan to follow the examples in a live working session, check with the person at your
organization who installs theIntegration Services product family for information on the sample
database that you need for drill-through, and to which instance of Essbase Server you should
connect.
Note:
The Essdt.xls file also contains sample results of the drill-through reports when you run them
without customizing the reports. The results are provided in separate sheets in the workbook so
that you can see the sample report results without working through the tutorial. For more
information about the sample reports, see “About the Samples Used in This Tutorial” on page
168.
Before starting the tutorial, make sure you meet the following requirements:
