MicroStrategy ONE
Changing datasets in Grid/Graphs
A Grid/Graph acts as a standard MicroStrategy report in a document. The data displayed on the Grid/Graph is provided by a dataset report. When you add a Grid/Graph to a document, you choose the dataset. However, you can change that dataset later, if necessary.
You can also replace the dataset of a document, and any Grid/Graphs that use the dataset are updated to use the new dataset instead. For instructions, see Adding datasets to documents.
Prerequisite
This procedure assumes that you have added a Grid/Graph to the document. If you have not, you can add a Grid/Graph and select the dataset at the same time. For instructions to do this, see Displaying reports in documents: Grid/Graphs.
To change the dataset of a Grid/Graph
-
Open a document in the Document Editor. How?
-
Click the Grid/Graph to select it. Resizing handles display around it.
If red hashed lines appear around it, you are in edit mode. Press ESC and click the object once.
-
Select the new dataset report from the drop-down list in Property List: Data: Data source. All the datasets of the document are listed.
-
When you are done, press ESC or click anywhere in the Layout area outside the Grid/Graph object.
Any dataset objects that are not available in the new dataset are deleted from the Layout area.
