How to create and use hierachies in Analysis Services tabular model Part one of a three-part series of blogs |
---|
Hiearchies allow you to group related columns together, to make for prettier pivot tables and happier users. This blog shows you how to create and use hiearchies in SSAS Tabular, considers whether they're worth it, and also looks at the specific case of how to model parent-child hierarchies.
This blog is part of our online SSAS Tabular tutorial; we also offer lots of other Analysis Services training resources. |
A hierarchy allows you to group multiple levels into a single dimension:
An example of a hierarchy: Wol is a product, which belongs to the Owl animal and ultimately to the Bird species.
You can add fields in a hierarchy into a pivot table with a single click:
Rather than ticking each of Species, Animal and Product, you can just tick the Classification hierarchy to include all of its levels in the pivot table.
The result looks pretty and is easy to use:
You can click on the outline symbols to expand or collapse species, animals or products.
This blog shows how to create and use hierarchies, then considers the special case of parent-child hierarchies.
