Essential BI Grid

Use a BI Grid to summarize, analyze, explore, and present summaries for critical data in your enterprise and make informed decisions. 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, ASP.NET MVC (HTML 5-enhanced), Silverlight, and WPF.

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 grid. 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-meory pivot engine transform the data dynamically and present it as multi-dimensional OLAP data.

User Interaction

The BI Grid comes with built-in support for drilling down to different levels of a hierarchical dimension. For example, collapsible headers let you visualize data by year, quarter, or month in a time dimension. Optionally, it also lets you view drill-down data via ToolTips.

KPI Support

Easily create executive summary scorecards to help visualize business critical KPIs with status and trend information. Scorecards could be hierarchical with built-in support for drill-down. The status indicators can be customized with several built-in or custom icons.

Appearance

The BI Grid allows you to customize the look and feel of the different portions of the grid using styles. Easily customize the grid to fit your organization's themes.

Filtering

The OLAP Grid allows you to filter the contents based on some filter conditions using the reports.

Export Options

Essential BI Grid can export OLAP data to Excel spreadsheets or Word documents. Using Syncfusion products like Essential XlsIO, DocIO, and PDF, you can also export a BI Grid to an Excel or Word document.

Calculated Members

Include calculated members and dimensions in the display.

Member Properties

The BI Grid has an option for displaying member properties that provide basic information about each member in each tuple, including member name, parent level, and number of children. These member properties are available for all members at any given level.

Design Time Support

Essential BI Grid for WPF supports designing an OLAP grid from within the designer. Wizards help you connect to a data source as well as select dimensions and measures to visualize through simple drag and drops.
