In a workspace, data is analyzed using a crosstab in a workspace. Crosstab is added as main analysis and you can also add sub-analysis in the form of a graph or a crosstab. Subanalysis is always linked to the main analysis.

For example, when a crosstab is added as main analysis you can add a chart or graph as sub analysis. This sub-analysis represents the same data as main analysis.

To create a sub-analysis, you have to click the Insert button in the toolbar and select Insert a sub-analysis.

Unlinking a Sub-Analysis

In a workspace in Analysis Edition for OLAP, when you add a crosstab or chart sub-analysis to a sheet that contains an analysis, the new component is linked to the main analysis. Changes that you make to the main analysis (usually a crosstab) are reflected in all subanalyses.

You can unlink the sub-analysis and the sub-analysis is converted to a separate analysis that contains only the focused analysis. To unlink a sub-analysis, select the sub-analysis in the Outline panel → Display tab → Unlink Sub-Analysis.
