The Selector is a set of related dialog boxes that allows you to make dimension value selections for each dimension.

You can also set viewing options for the Selector.
To use the Selector:In the Express Query dialog box, select a measure for the query and choose Selector.
The Selector dialog box appears. The dimensions and the number of values currently selected for the dimension are displayed.
Tip: You can choose Options to change how dimension values are displayed in the Selector. For example, you can specify that the values appear in a list rather than as a number.
Use the Selector tools to select and sort the values for this dimension, including saved selections. The current selection criteria are displayed in a script. Use the tools to refine or replace the selection.
Note: Not all tools are available for all dimensions. Tools that are dimmed are not available.
