- 16. Aggregate fieldsPre-configured and ready to drop
- 17. Include all numeric fields except keys
- 18. No need to know SQL
- 19. Easy to modify – uses simple Excel-like lookup formula
- 20. Efficient – can use same Datasource
- 21. Copy, cut and paste like any other controlChartsPre-configured and ready to drop
- 22. Uses standard .NET chart control
- 23. No need to know SQL
- 24. Properties and Formulas allows easy modification
- 25. Copy, cut and paste like any other controlCommon Usage:Add Sum, Average, Total, Minimum or Maximum
- 26. Apply formula to format value
- 27. Initialize from different tables
- 28. Apply filters independently to chart or count
- 29. Create dashboards by dropping counts and sums in table
- 30. Create dashboards by dropping charts on the standalone pageChart for Sum: sales per country, employee, shipper, category
- 31. Chart for Sum: sales per country, employee, shipper, category
- 32. Chart control is easily customizable and accessible:
- 33. How to create a chart: tips and tricksIf you index by all records, use primary key!For example: Sales Per Employee: instead of index Employee.Last Name select Employee.EmployeeID. You will be able to change index title later!How to create a chart: tips and tricksIf you index by non-unique field, use this fieldFor example: Sales Per Country: ShipCountry is not unique in Orders table so you have to use this field to properly groupBy. In this case you can’t change label to use other fields.How to create a chart: tips and tricksTo change ‘For Each’ from Primary Key to other field in the record use Where Clause and drop outside of repeater.For example: Sales Per Employee for those employees who report to this: drop outside of row (in totals), cut and paste inside the row and add where clause:Runtime shows dashboard with hyperlinks:
- 34. Dashboard consists of literals and LOOKUP formulas:
- 35. To add hyperlink to drill down table use Formula:Actual Formula:= IF(ParseDecimal(LOOKUP(ExtendedPriceSumQuery, EmployeeID))=0," ", "<a href='../Order Details/ShowOrder_DetailsTable.aspx?EmployeeID="+EmployeeID+"' >"+Format(LOOKUP(ExtendedPriceSumQuery, EmployeeID), "C")+"</a>")
- 36. Do not forget to add where clause to drilled down table:
- 37. Taking care of SQLSQL query might seem easy…
- 38. But it is not!
- 39. For example count of Customers who placed order with this employee. On the first glance:SELECT EmployeeID, COUNT(*)AS [CustomersCount] FROM [dbo].[Employees] INNER JOIN [dbo].[Orders] ON ([Employees].[EmployeeID] = [Orders].[EmployeeID]) INNER JOIN [dbo].[Customers] ON ([Orders].[CustomerID] = [Customers].[CustomerID]) GROUP BY [Employees_].[EmployeeID] ORDER BY [CustomersCount] Asc
- 40. But this is wrong query! Real life is not that simple!Taking care of SQLTo eliminate duplicate records and get correct results real query is
- 41. SELECT [Employees_].[COL_1] AS [EmployeeID] , [Employees_].[COL_2] AS [CustomersCount] FROM ( SELECT [Employees_].[COL_3] AS [COL_1] , COUNT(*) AS [COL_2] FROM ( SELECT [Employees_].[EmployeeID] AS [COL_3] , [Customers_].[CustomerID] FROM [dbo].[Employees] [Employees_] INNER JOIN [dbo].[Orders] [Orders_] ON ([Employees_].[EmployeeID] = [Orders_].[EmployeeID]) INNER JOIN [dbo].[Customers] [Customers_] ON ([Orders_].[CustomerID] = [Customers_].[CustomerID]) GROUP BY [Employees_].[EmployeeID], [Customers_].[CustomerID] ) [Employees_] GROUP BY [Employees_].[COL_3] ) [Employees_] ORDER BY [Employees_].[COL_1] Asc
