What's Inside

OLAP for WinForms is a stand-alone product. In addition to the following controls, it also includes the C1FlexGrid, C1Chart, and C1PDF Windows Forms controls.

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.

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.

C1OlapPrintDocument
Creates reports based on OLAP views. It extends the PrintDocument class and provides properties that allow you to specify content and formatting for showing OLAP grids, charts, and the raw data used to create the report.

C1OlapPage
Groups Panel, Chart, Grid, and PrintDocument 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.

Features

Code-free Data Analysis
To create the simplest OLAP application, just create a new Windows Forms application, drop the C1OlapPage control on the form, and connect to a database. It’s that easy. Run your application and go.

Drag-and-drop Views
Easily create data views by dragging a field into the list. This will give you a summary of your data. You can also summarise your data by modifying the parameters.
Drag-and-drop Views

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.
Multiple Value Fields

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 Charts
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.

Reports are a Click Away
Effortlessly print and email reports. The C1OlapPrintDocument component is used to create reports based on OLAP views. It extends the PrintDocument class and provides properties that allow you to specify content and formatting for showing OLAP grids, charts, and the raw data used to create the report. There’s a convenient “Report” button that previews your data in a built-in report. You can change the page orientation, and print the report or export to PDF.

Filtering
To narrow down the data analysis, 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.
Filtering

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 cell in the OLAP grid by right-clicking the cell with your mouse pointer.

Data Transferrable to Excel
You may want to copy some or all the data to Excel so you can perform additional data analysis including regressions, create customised reports by annotating the data, or adding custom charts. The C1OlapGrid control supports the clipboard by default, so you can simply select the data you are interested in, press CTRL+C to copy the data, and then paste it directly into an Excel sheet. The row and column headers are included with the data.

Save and 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 WinForms exposes most of the components it contains, which makes customisation straightforward. You can add, remove or change the elements from the ToolStrip, from the TabControl, and show status messages using the LabelStatus property. You can also add other elements to the page in addition to the C1OlapPage.
