What's Inside

In addition to the following controls, OLAP for Silverlight also includes the entire Studio for Silverlight control suite.

• C1OlapPanel
  Provides the raw data for the analysis using a DataSource property as well as a drag-and-drop interface for defining custom views of the data. The panel is visually similar to the Microsoft Excel Pivot Table UI. See the full feature list for details on supported functionality.
• C1OlapGrid
  Displays OLAP tables. It extends the C1FlexGrid control and provides automatic data binding to C1OlapPanel objects, grouped row and column headers as well as custom behaviors for resizing columns, copying data to the clipboard, and showing details for any given cell.
• C1OlapChart
  Displays OLAP charts. It extends the C1Chart control and provides automatic data binding to C1OlapPanel objects, automatic tooltips, chart type and palette selection.
• C1OlapPage
  Groups Panel, Chart, and the Grid in one easy-to-use tabbed interface. Just drop the page control and set the data source. You can develop your own custom interface using only the basic controls instead of the C1OlapPage.
• Studio for Silverlight
  OLAP for Silverlight also includes the entire Studio for Silverlight control suite. Add over 50 UI components to your toolbox and take your applications to the next level. With advanced data visualisation, editing, layout and navigation controls, Studio for Silverlight will make your OLAP apps shine.

Features

Code-free Data Analysis
To create the simplest OLAP application, just create an empty Silverlight application, drop the C1OlapPage control on the page, and connect to a data source. It’s that easy. Run your application and go.

Dynamic Views
Dynamically create data views by dragging fields into the row, column and value lists. This will give you a summary of your data. You can also summarise your data by modifying the filters. The UI is similar to Microsoft Excel.

Subtotals and Grand Totals
The OLAP Grid automatically calculates grand totals for each slice of your data. If you measure multiple dimensions the OLAP Grid can also calculate subtotals with collapsible headers.

Multiple Value Fields

You may add as many value fields to a view as you want. This enables users to aggregate totals for multiple measures from the data set. For example, create a view that compares both total revenue and cost side-by-side.

Conditional Formatting
Simple properties make it easy to apply conditional formatting to the C1OlapGrid. Conditional format thresholds may be specified as absolute values or as percentages. Make certain values stand out to draw attention. For example, apply a unique style for values in the top 10% and another style for values in the bottom 10%.

OLAP Charting
The C1OlapChart control is used to display OLAP charts. It supports five different chart types (Bar, Column, Area, Line and Scatter), automatic tooltips, stacking and palette selection.

Print Reports
Directly print the C1OlapGrid and C1OlapChart together in a single report. Users can customise scaling, page margins, headers and footers, and insert time stamps, page counts and a title for the report.

Filtering
To narrow down the data pool, use the filter feature. You can filter on multiple fields. Just right-click on the field you would like to filter and select Field Settings. From the Field Settings dialog box, you can create your custom text filter. No coding required. The filter settings get saved with the OLAP view so they are there the next time you load the view.

Totals and Aggregates
Choose from many different aggregations for the totals (Value field). Choose from Sum, Count, Average, Maximum, Minimum, First, Last, Variance, Standard Deviation, and Variance Population.

Data Formatting
Format the value field in the Field Settings dialog. Select from decimal, currency, and percentage formats; or create custom format strings.

View Underlying Records
You can see the underlying records behind each aggregated value in the OLAP grid by double-clicking any cell.

Undo/Redo History Support
As you make changes to the OLAP view you can undo and redo steps.

Save/Load Views
ReadXml and WriteXml methods allow you to persist views to files and streams. These methods make it very easy to implement predefined views and expose them in a menu so your end-user can select them.

Customisable User Interface
OLAP for Silverlight exposes most of the components it contains, which makes customisation straightforward. You can add, remove or change the elements from the Menu, the TabControl, and you can also add other elements to the page in addition to the C1OlapPanel, C1OlapGrid and C1OlapChart.

Over 50 Additional UI Components
ComponentOne OLAP™ for Silverlight includes Studio for Silverlight. Complete your application with rich editors, layout controls, advanced navigation and more.
