Used Dimensions This list contains the dimensions currently selected to be used as dimensions
in the chart. The number of dimensions that can be used varies with the type
of chart. Superfluous dimensions for any given type will be disregarded. When
used in tables, the dimension data cells can be dynamically formatted by
means of attribute expressions. Whenever an attribute expression is entered for
a dimension, its icon will turn from gray scale to color, or as in the case of
Text Format, from gray to black. These settings will have precedence over
chart settings. Click on the "+" expansion icon in front of any dimension to display
the placeholders or the dimension's attribute expression.
Background Color
Double-click on Background Color in order to enter an attribute expression
for calculating the cell background color of the dimension cell. The expression
used should return a valid color representation (a number representing the Red,
Green and Blue components as defined in Visual Basic). This is done by using
one of the special chart color functions (see Color Functions (page 361)). If
the result of the expression is not a valid color representation, the program will
default to black.
Text Color
Double-click on Text Color in order to enter an attribute expression for calculating
the cell text color of the dimension cell. The expression used should
return a valid color representation (a number representing the Red, Green and
Blue components as defined in Visual Basic). This is done by using one of the
special chart color functions (see Color Functions (page 361)). If the result of
the expression is not a valid color representation, the program will default to
black.
Text Format
Double-click on Text Format in order to enter an attribute expression for calculating
the font style of text in the table cell for each dimension cell. The
expression used as text format expression should return a string containing a
'' for bold text, '' for italic text and/or '' for underlined text.
Add calculated dimension...
With the Promote and Demote buttons, dimensions in the Used dimensions
list can be sorted.
Adds a new dimension and opens it for editing in the Edit Expression Dialog
(page 737) dialog. A chart dimension is often in a single field, but can also be
dynamically calculated. A calculated dimension consists of an expression
involving one or more fields. All standard functions may be used. Aggregation
functions may not be used, but the Advanced Aggregation (page 289) function
can be included for achieving nested aggregation.
Edit... Opens the dimension for editing in the Edit Expression Dialog (page 737)
dialog. See Add calculated dimension... above for details on calculated dimensions.
