An OLAP (On-line Analytical Processing) Cube is a multi-dimensional database that performs instantaneous analysis and display of large chunks of data. The cube contains metrics of data such as KPI (Key Performance Indicator) information, which can be used to measure the progress of a business in meeting its goals. Being an excellent data processing tool, the FlexPivot control can automatically recognize the information in the OLAP Cube and display it in an appropriate format in its page.
The GIF below displays a report on the FlexPivotPage for the Internet Revenue/Sales KPI from the Adventure Works sample cube. Note how the KPI data is shown in the FlexPivotPage using the Value Fields.
For each KPI in the OLAP cube, there is a corresponding measure for its status and trend. The associated graphics of each KPI can be specified using the KpiGraphics enumeration of the C1.FlexPivot.Internal namespace. In the code below, a Combo Box is used to display the KpiGraphics enumeration values to alter the KPI graphics at runtime. The selected graphics can be applied to the KPI fields using the C1KpiField class of C1.FlexPivot.Internal namespace.
The code below illustrates how to add KPI Field data from OLAP Cube in the FlexPivotPage.
