2.3.1 About the Axis Item Markers

An axis item marker pertains to one level of data on the axis. For example, Region is at a higher level than Cities because the Regions contain the Cities. When you click an axis item marker it selects all the items at that level. Tables and crosstabs can have several axis item markers. Items on the side axis have their axis markers at the top of the axis. Items on the top axis or page axis have their markers to the left of the item. The number of markers on a crosstab indicates how many levels of items in the axes which is another way of saying how many “dimensions” of data the crosstabs displays. Figure 2–16 Axis Item Marker Examples Key to Figure 2–16 : Note: The axis markers, row markers, column markers, and other similar elements on the screen are only for your work on the screen. Those elements do not appear when you print a table or crosstab report. Use the Print Preview command to see what a table or crosstab will look like when printed.
