Dimension area

Dimensions can be row dimensions, column dimensions, or slicer dimensions.

• Dimensions appear as dimension tiles.
• Dimension names are underlined. To open the Report contents page for a dimension, click on its name. (Dimension member names may also be underlined. Underlined member names represent groups. Clicking an underlined member name drills down into the group.)
• Dimension tiles have a textured area that can be dragged and dropped. You can arrange the dimensions any way you want, either by dragging and dropping their tiles or by using the Rearrange report dialog. (There must always be at least one dimension on the rows and one on the columns.) To open the Rearrange report dialog, do one of the following:
  • Click Table options> Rearrange report.
  • Select View menu> Table options> Rearrange report.

Note: Dimensions for which member selections have been made can be removed from a report by clicking the X button for "Remove dimension and clear selections" in the Dimension list. However, there must always be at least one row and one column dimension in a report. Therefore if only two dimensions remain in a report they will not have X buttons.
