• 根據網格中的值，自動過濾層次成員。能夠根據成員的級別或者僅根據理論，來選擇一些主要/次要成員。

• 在網格中，不僅能夠顯示度量值，而且還能顯示總計百分比、小計百分比或者主要部分總計的百分比。能夠創建自己的用于顯示度量的上下文相關規則（例如：測量值對時間維的累積和）。

• 依據程序員指定的參數，能夠在任何網格中自動制圖，以及對網格中的圖片定位。

• 完全的數據輸出控制，能夠在網格中任意繪圖。

• 在網格中，支持自定義繪圖。

• 在網格中，支持自定義彈出菜單。

• 在網格中，支持拖放度量或者層次成員。

• 依據單元格的寬度，自動封裝其內容。對于網格中過長的單元格，能夠自動調整具有自動封裝的列寬。

• 能夠直接在網格中編輯 OLAP 數據（支持 "writeback"）。

• 允許把當前片斷顯示為圖表（任何 TChart 后繼）。在圖表中，支持 Drill-down 操作?？擅赓M獲得制圖組件的源碼。

• 允許把選定的網格區域拷貝到剪貼板中。支持所有公共的 office 剪貼板格式。

• 允許把網格數據導出到多種格式：MS Excel (使用 OLE 或者直接導出到 XLS-file), HTML, PDF, WMF, RTF, TXT, BMP, XML. 很快也可以導出到 RaveReport, ReportBuilder, FastReport. 它還支持在 printer Canvas 中直接繪圖。

• 易于本地化。還能夠局部化試用版。

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.

Key features: Data visualization

• 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.
