Create Selection Steps

Selection steps help users display the data they want to analyze. When you add a column to an analysis, an implicit "Start with all members" step is added. The "all" implies all the members of the column after filters are applied.

For example, you can create a selection step to specify criteria for the following members in an Office column: Baltimore, Austin, and Athens.

  1. Open the analysis for editing.
  2. Select the Criteria tab.
  3. Display the Selection Steps pane by clicking Show Selection Steps Pane on the toolbar.
  4. Click Then, New Step, and select the kind of step to create. For example, you can specify a list of selected members for the step.
  5. For a member step, select Add, Keep Only, or Remove from the Action list.
  6. If you’re creating a member step, then move the members to include in the step from the Available area to the Selected area.
  7. Specify the appropriate values for the condition such as the action, measure, and operator to use for the values of the column.
  8. Click OK.
