Analyzing data in a cross tab
From BIRT Studio, you can launch BIRT Data Analyzer if you have purchased a license for it, to manipulate and further analyze cross tab data. Using BIRT Data Analyzer, you can answer questions such as:
What the sales for a product are over time
How total sales break down by product
How many units of a product shipped to all locations in April
You can add, remove, reorganize, and customize the data and its appearance in the cross tab to examine relationships and trends. Using BIRT Data Analyzer, you can perform the following tasks:
Filter, group, and sort data.
Format a cross tab.
Perform calculations.
To launch BIRT Data Analyzer, select any cell in the cross tab, then choose Analyze from the context menu, as shown in
Figure 7‑15.
