Display or hide ScreenTips and properties in a PivotTable or PivotChart report
A ScreenTip provides contextual or supplementary information, such as member properties in an Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) cube, about a field in a PivotTable or PivotChart report.
What do you want to do?
Display or hide a contextual ScreenTip
A contextual ScreenTip is summary information about the value, row, or column for a field. For example, if you move the pointer over a cell in the values area, a contextual ScreenTip displays the current value and the row and column location. This contextual ScreenTip is especially useful when you are working with a large report and do not want to change the layout or scroll through the report to find or verify this information.
-
Click the PivotTable report.
-
On the Options tab, in the PivotTable group, click Options.
-
In PivotTable Options dialog box, click the Display tab and then, under Display, select the Show contextual tooltips check box.
Display or hide member properties in a ScreenTip
If your PivotTable report is connected to a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services OLAP cube and the cube administrator has enabled the display of member property information, you can display the property values in a ScreenTip when you move the pointer over a field. For example, a product can contain additional property information, such as a product key, a dealer price, and a stock level. You can also control which specific property information is displayed in the ScreenTip.
Note: This procedure requires a field to have properties defined and enabled on the OLAP cube. To find out if properties are available, right-click the field, and then point to Show properties in Report on the shortcut menu. If the shortcut menu displays (No Properties Defined), no properties are available to be displayed.
-
Make sure that member properties are displayed for the PivotTable report by doing the following:
-
On the Options tab, in the PivotTable group, click Options.
-
In PivotTable Options dialog box, click the Display tab and then, under Display, select the Show properties in tooltips check box.
-
-
Right-click a field on the PivotTable or PivotChart report, point to Show Properties in Tooltips on the shortcut menu, and then click Show All Properties, Hide All Properties, or an individual property caption.
Display member properties as data in a PivotTable report
You can display member property information as data in the PivotTable report. For example, you may want to sort, filter, or print the property information.
When you filter member property data, the member property caption is displayed along with the field name. For example, if color is a member property of the Product field, you can filter products by the color silver.
Note: This procedure requires that a field have properties defined and enabled on the OLAP cube. To find out whether properties are available, right-click the field, and then point to Show properties in Report on the shortcut menu. If the shortcut menu displays (No Properties Defined), no properties are available to be displayed.
