Examples

The following example shows how to use preferred column relations. The main table (CountryCapita) has two columns; Country and Capita. The second table (ExportImportAmount) has three columns; Export Country, Import Country and Amount. Add the column relations to the data manager:

var columnRelationExport = new ColumnRelation("[CountryCapita].[Country]", "[ExportImportAmount].[Export Country]");
var columnRelationImport = new ColumnRelation("[CountryCapita].[Country]", "[ExportImportAmount].[Import Country]");
dataManager.ColumnRelations.Add(columnRelationExport);
dataManager.ColumnRelations.Add(columnRelationImport);

Make a bar chart with the following expressions:

plot.XAxis.Expression = "<Country>";
plot.YAxis.Expression = "Sum([ExportImportAmount].[Amount]) / Sum([CountryCapita].[Capita]) AS [Amount per Capita]";
plot.ColorAxis.Expression = "<[Axis.Default.Names]>";

To get a plot for the amount of export per capita set columnRelationExport as the preferred.

plot.Data.Relations.SetPreferred(columnRelationExport);

To change the plot to get amount of import per capita set columnRelationImport as preferred.

plot.Data.Relations.SetPreferred(columnRelationImport);
