Overview
The WPF OLAP chart control organizes and summarizes business data and displays results in a graphic format.


Data binding
The WPF OLAP chart control enables you to retrieve multidimensional data from SSAS or any XML/A provider. Following is the list of data sources our OLAP controls widely support:
- SSAS
- Mondrian
- Active Pivot

Slice and dice
With the slice and dice feature, you can create a new view for end users by selecting dimensions and measures from the OLAP cube and filtering them.


Key performance indicators (KPIs)
KPIs are collections of calculations associated with a measure group that evaluates business success. Typically, these calculations are a combination of multi-dimensional expressions (MDX) or calculated members. Four different types of KPI indicators available are:
- Goal
- Status
- Trend
- Value
Named sets
The named sets are MDX expressions that return a set of dimension members, which can be defined and saved as a part of the OLAP cube definition. Named sets simplify MDX queries and provide useful aliases for complex, typically used, set expressions.


Calculated members and measures
You can now create and display dimensions and measures on your own.
