MicroStrategy ONE

Viewing Grid/Graphs as graphs

When you insert a Grid/Graph into a document, it is displayed as a grid (a standard MicroStrategy grid report with rows and columns of attributes and metrics) by default. You can choose to display it as a graph, which shows the data visually as in a standard MicroStrategy graph report.

Prerequisite

This procedure assumes that the document contains a Grid/Graph. For instructions to add a Grid/Graph, see Displaying reports in documents: Grid/Graphs.

To view a Grid/Graph as a graph

  1. Open a document in the Document Editor. (How?)

  2. 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 to exit edit mode, then click the object once to select it.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • In the Property List: Appearance section, select Graph from the View mode drop-down list.

    • From the Format menu, select Properties. On the Grid tab, select Graph from the View mode drop-down list.

      The Width Mode and Height Mode properties are disabled when the View Mode is changed to Graph, since graphs always use a fixed size.

  4. Click anywhere outside of the Grid/Graph so that it is no longer selected.
