Edit Analyses Created in Analysis Editor

The analysis editor enables you to use more powerful analytics features that aren't in BI Composer, such as:

  • Conditional format

  • Excluded columns

  • Filters

  • Prompts

  • Sections

  • Slices for pie graphs

  • Sorts

  • Title

  • Vary measure by color and points for scatter graphs

If you edit an analyses in BI Composer, you might receive an error message stating that there are incompatible elements in the analysis.

This message can occur for a variety of reasons. For example:

  • Green bar formatting has been applied to the analysis.

  • An incompatible graph view such as, gauge or performance tile, is part of the analysis.

  • An incompatible view such as, selection step or filter, is part of the analysis.

  • Duplicate view type exists. For example, if the analysis contains a table, pivot table, pie graph, and bar graph, only one table and one graph are converted in BI Composer. The table or pivot table is converted as a summary table and the graph defaults to the first compatible graph type in the analysis.

To edit an analysis using BI Composer when you have received an incompatibility error message:

  1. Click Show details to view the messages.
  2. Examine the messages.
  3. When you are sure that you want to proceed, click Yes. The BI Composer wizard -- Create Analysis: Edit Graph panel displays.
