Extremely powerful VCL OLAP component which combines the ideas of Desktop OLAP and enterprise OLAP servers, like Microsoft Analysis Services.

Key features: Cube definition

• Support of the following data sources:
  
  • A single table or query of any database (any TDataSet successor, no BDE required);
    
  • Several tables or queries of any database organized into the "star" or "snowflake" schema (any TDataSet successors, no BDE required);
    
• Support a set of aggregation functions, such as Sum, Count, Distinct Count,
  Min, Max, biased or unbiased variance, median and so on. Supports custom
  aggregation functions.
  
• Support of numbers, strings and dates as measure values.
  
• Support of measure grouping.
  
• Support of all cube structure elements of Enterprise OLAP servers (dimensions,
  hierarchies, hierarchy levels and their relations). You can build the cube in
  the Desktop OLAP, and then, when increasing the size of tables, to port the
  Desktop cube into the MS Analysis cube, at that the logical structure of the
  cube will remain unchanged.
  
• Support of hierarchies of three types:
  • Parent-child hierarchies;
    
  • Multilevel hierarchies;
    
  • Mixed from both previous types.
• An ability to create calculated measures, dimensions, hierarchies and hierarchy
  levels based on the data both as the fact table rows and all dimension tables
  rows related to it with the foreign keys.
  
• An ability to create additional calculated measures, using both the information
  from the fact table and values of the aggregated cube cells.
  
• Support of calculated members of dimensions or hierarchies.
  
• Support of dimension or hierarchy attributes which store additional information
  about dimension or hierarchy members.
  
• Support of supersaturated cubes when one cube cell holds two or more values
  from the fact table.
  

• Unicode support.


• An ability to display many measures in the Grid simultaneously.
  
• Interactive drill-down support of all types of hierarchies separately for every
  grid cell.
  
• Support of "Undo" and "Redo" actions during the OLAP analysis.
  
• Support of saving and restoring the current OLAP slice.
  
• Support of member grouping on any hierarchy level without changing the
  hierarchy levels structure.
  
• Support of sorting on any level of hierarchy or dimension separately. Ability
  of overriding any sorting method.
  
• Support of ascending or descending sorting based on any column value in the
  OLAP grid.
  
• Support of filtering any set of hierarchy members with or without applying
  these filters in the OLAP calculations.
  
• Support of the auto filtering of the hierarchy members depending on their
  values in the grid. An ability for selection some major/minor members, either
  according to their rank or on the Pareto principle.
  
• An ability to display in the grid not only the values of the measures but a
  percent value regarding totals, subtotals, or grand totals. An ability to
  create your own context-sensitive rules on measure display (for example, a
  cumulative sum of measure values for time dimensions, and just its value for
  all other cases).
  
• The auto image drawing in any grid cell, the auto picture positioning in a
  cell, depending on the parameters assigned by a programmer.
  
• A complete data output control, a feature for the arbitrary drawing in the grid
  cells.
  
• Support of the custom drawing on the grid cells.
  
• Support of the custom popup menus in the grid.
  
• Support of the drag-n-drop of measures or hierarchy members within the grid.
  
• Auto wrapping of the cell contents depending on its width. Auto sizing of the
  column width with auto wrapping for the very "long" cells of the grid.
  
• An ability to edit OLAP data directly in the grid ("writeback" support).
  
• Allows to display the current slice as a diagram (any TChart successor).
  Support of Drill-down actions in the chart. The source code of the charting
  component comes for free.
  
• Allows to copy the selected grid area into the clipboard. Support all common
  office clipboard formats.
  
• Allows to export grid data to many formats: MS Excel (using OLE or directly to
  XLS-file), HTML, PDF, WMF, RTF, TXT, BMP, XML. Exports to the RaveReport,
  ReportBuilder, FastReport are coming soon. Also supports direct drawing on
  printer Canvas.
  
• Easy localization. It is possible to localize the evaluation version as well.
