Defining a hierarchy from a visualization axis

You can create a defined hierarchy directly from the columns on an axis in a visualization, for reuse in other visualizations or to obtain a hierarchy filter.

Procedure

On the axis, select the columns to form the hierarchy and place them in the wanted order.

Note: If the number of columns added to an axis exceeds three, the name of each column will no longer be displayed. Instead the number of added columns is shown.
Right-click one of the column selectors, and select Create hierarchy.
The separate column selectors are replaced by a single selector showing the hierarchy. The selector is supplemented with a slider, which allows you to switch between the levels of the hierarchy.

Tip: If you want, you can give the created hierarchy a name.
1. Click Data in analysis on the authoring bar to open the flyout.
2. In the flyout, locate the created hierarchy, right-click it and select Rename.
3. Enter a suitable name, and click OK.
