Essential BI Chart

Essential BI Chart is a great way to visualize business intelligence data buried in OLAP and relational databases. This interactive control with drill-down capabilities allows you to surface big-picture data and makes it available at your fingertips. Data source support ranges from SQL Server Analysis Services to any XMLA-compatible OLAP databases like Mondrian. With our in-memory pivot engine, you can also bind to any standard relational data sources. Use it in your Web or Windows development using the variants built natively for each of these platforms: ASP.NET, WPF, and Silverlight.

Data Sources

Use our intuitive APIs to refer to an OLAP data source and specify which dimensions, measures, and KPIs you want to visualize in the chart. Or you can visually create a report definition schema (XML) using our Report Builder and refer to the schema in your applications. You can even bind to relational data sources and let our in-memory pivot engine transform the data dynamically and present it as multi-dimensional OLAP data.

User Interaction

Interactive zooming allows your end users to zoom in on areas of interest within the chart.

Chart Types

Visualize chart data using numerous chart types ranging from bar charts to pie charts.

Exporting Charts

Easily export BI Chart to several file formats. Also embed chart images into PDF, Excel, or Word documents using our Reporting Studio.

Chart Appearance

The background, fonts, borders, and other chart elements can be fully customized at the chart as well as series levels. Built-in customizable legends are displayed to identify dimensions that are visualized. ToolTips can be employed to provide additional information at point level.

Filtering

The OLAP Chart provides several ways to filter the data that is displayed in the UI.
