Software FX: Data visualization for every need, every platform.

Chart FX OLAP allow your Windows Forms and Web Forms applications to quickly and easily integrate OLAP-aware charts. Just drop a chart in your form and make it OLAP aware in just minutes with the Chart FX OLAP Data Wizard*, or just use Visual Studio's Intellisense® technology to quickly customize and configure your charts by accessing Properties and Methods available to the chart object. Chart FX OLAP, a .NET control, supports ADO-MD and XML for Analysis for integration with major leading OLAP server vendors like Microsoft SQL Server® and Hyperion Essbase®.

OLAP Data Wizard*
Connecting your data to the Chart FX OLAP Extension is very intuitive with the Data Wizard. Simply choose the database, choose the catalog, then choose the OLAP cube of interest. Once the cube has been selected, Chart FX OLAP guides you through configuring the MDX statement.

Flexible Data Connectivity
Chart FX OLAP supports ADO-MD to connect natively to Microsoft's SQL Server Analysis Services. Similarly, by supporting XML for Analysis and its recent widespread adoption by most of the OLAP server market ensures that Chart FX OLAP can access other OLAP data sources from vendors such as Hyperion, SAS and Microstrategy.

Analysis Bars
Chart FX OLAP includes an Analysis Bar that allows users to select dimensions to analyze within the chart. The Analysis Bar may be toggled between either the Category Bar [1] or Menu Bar [2] styles. The Category Bar allows users to select from the available dimensions and levels for display in the chart. Alternatively, the Menu Bar provides the same functionality but takes less space.

UI Data Filtering
The Category Bar provides a series of checkboxes representing the values for a selected level that enable the user to filter the data displayed in the chart. To filter the values, simply check or uncheck the available values to show or hide them in the displayed chart. (See it in action)

Pivoting Data
The Chart FX OLAP Extension also allows end users to pivot data in the chart to change the dimensional orientation. Dragging the LegendBox or X-axis labels to another position will allow users to transpose (swap the rows and columns) data in the chart. (See it in action)

Drill-down Capabilities
The OLAP Extension supports analysis and drill down functionality allowing end users to analyze a level individually, or drill down to a selected level to analyze the subordinate values which comprise the selected level.

*Note: The Chart FX Extensions Pack will accommodate itself to features available in Chart FX 7. Not all features available in Chart FX 7 are available in Chart FX for .NET (2003). Please consult your Core Product's documentation for specific feature information.
