Crosstab Nodes and Crosstab Node Members |
When you add data items to crosstabs, you create crosstab nodes and crosstab node members. These objects allow you to easily create crosstabs, using drag-and-drop operations.
Crosstabs are dimensional objects that have row edges and column edges. Each edge is composed of a set of crosstab nodes. Each crosstab node contains the following:
Each crosstab node member refers to a data item that contains an expression that defines the members that appear in the crosstab.
The following crosstab contains four crosstab nodes.
Crosstab node 1 contains a single node member for the total. This node refers to the data item Total(Product line).
Crosstab node 2 contains a crosstab node member that refers to the data item Product line. This member has a nested crosstab node containing a crosstab node member that refers to the data item Product type.
Note: Nodes are also created when you add data items to charts.
