Previewing Data

From Administration Services Console, you can preview the data values of aggregate-storage and block-storage databases for which you have Read permission. A data preview grid displays the data in spreadsheet format, similar to Spreadsheet Add-in.

On data grids, you can perform a limited set of operations, including basic and conditional retrievals, zoom operations, keep-only and remove-only operations, pivots, and member selections. You can view grids in HTML and print and e-mail grids.

Data preview grids do not reflect true retrieval times from other client applications.

Note:

The data preview feature is not supported in duplicate member outlines.

  To preview data for databases:

  1. From Enterprise View or a custom view, select a database.

  2. Right-click, and select Preview data.

    The data preview grid is displayed; the Cubeview tab is selected.

  3. Optional: Using the toolbar, perform various operations on the grid.

  4. Optional: Select the Properties tab, and set properties for the grid.
