The Slice View dialog is opened in the Content Area of the main application window, as in
the above diagram. The window displays a Current Year Budget slice, as yet untitled, and with
no data in the grid.
Ü Press F9. (This manually recalculates the grid’s data, explained further below.) Keep in
mind that, as yet, no figures have been entered into the Cube, so you will see zeros as
data throughout the Slice.
By default, when PowerOLAP creates a new Slice, it places the last Dimension brought into
the cube when it was created in the Rows position, the next-to-last Dimension in the
Columns position, and any remaining Dimension(s) in the Page position. (When we created
the Cube in the last exercise, we brought all Dimensions into the cube at once in the order
they were listed.) In the above example Slice, Accounts are displayed as columns, Regions as
rows and Months as the Page dimension, currently displaying January, which is the first
Member entered for the Months dimension.
Ü Select Slice, Save As to save the Slice.
The following dialog is displayed:
