MultiTab Display

A MultiTab display has more than one horizontal dimension. It shows the same data as the Tabular display from which it is created, but displays more detail in additional rows. The following example shows a Tabular view of a primary dive on the CategoryName dimension.

Changing the presentation to MultiTab and adding ProductName as a second dimension shows the same data, but each value in the CategoryName is broken up by its respective product name and displays in multiple rows.

For example, the initial dive shows that 567 condiments were sold. The MultiTab display shows that the same 567 condiments were sold, but breaks it down by product name (328 Aniseed Syrup + 239 Louisiana Hot Spiced Okra).

Note that the vertical dimension columns are separated from the summary columns with a thick black line. The width of vertical dimension columns is limited, depending on the total width of the dive window. Long column values are truncated.

TIP: If the data in the vertical dimension is truncated because of the column width limitation, consider converting the display to a report, and specify that the wide items in the column wrap. For more information, see About the Position Tab.
