New release of Data Dynamics Analysis
Tonight I’ve released a new build of Data Dynamics Analysis to the world. The team has been working hard on this release since the beginning of the year, and I’m glad that everyone can see what they’ve been up to since then.
The release notes for this build are below.
- 119139 – Samples are now provided in Visual Basic .NET.
- 121656 – Calculated measures are now correctly supported.
- 123784 – The internal data manager has had some updates, this affects local cube files which cannot have sorting and filtering applied to them because they don’t have the required data in them. New local cube files do not have this issue.
- 123793 – When using part-to-whole calculations, the grid now indicates the cells that are considered the “whole”.
- 124878 – It is now possible to export the values of a view to the CSV file format.
- 120917 – Using a dataview with an unbound data source no longer causes a file not found error.
- 121252 – Removing a filter no longer drills up attributes.
- 122730 – All CardLayout settings are now loaded when loading layouts.
- 123785 – Improved performance of relational/unbound data.

- 126186 – The Quick Filter card for a KPI is no longer empty.
We’ve got some big features planned for the future and I can’t wait to share them with you.
Data Dynamics Analysis 1.0.464.0 Released
I just uploaded the latest version of Data Dynamics Analysis to the website!
This version has been in the making for quite a while now. It introduces several important features. First is that we’ve done away with the convoluted licensing process for the ASP.NET control! DDA now makes use of the licensing facilities provided in ASP.NET and Visual Studio.
Second, we’ve introduced part-to-whole calculations. With this feature you can see how each member relates to the whole picture, a particular row/column, or row/column group. Perfect for when you’re interested in seeing how the data changes within the table, row/column, or group but don’t really care what the actual values are.
I don’t have the feature pages updated yet because I didn’t want to hold back this release any longer; I’ll get them updated sometime this weekend though.
New Release of Data Dynamics Analysis
Earlier today I pushed out a new release of Data Dynamics Analysis.
This release introduces many bug fixes as well as several new features including trend lines and selection of members in the pivot view.
This release quickly follows on the introduction of the fall promotional discount on Data Dynamics Business Intelligence products, bringing the price down to as low as $499 for Data Dynamics Analysis!
Data Dynamics Analysis released!
Luc announced it yesterday, and it was so hectic around the office and at home that I forgot to do the same.
Yesterday, Data Dynamics released Data Dynamics Analysis! This product has been a blast to demo at shows, even if I’m not as slick at using it as Luc is. Just like many applications have a use for reports of some sort, there are uses for Data Dynamics Analysis in many applications. Any time you need to look at historic data you can use Analysis to help you pinpoint the answers to many questions in your data.
Whether you point it directly at your data or you feed it queries Analysis can handle them. Built off of the same data manager used in Data Dynamics Reports, it’s ready to start handling data from the moment you drop it on the form and tell it what data to use.
DevConnections raffle
Some of the Data Dynamics crew are over at the DevConnections show in Las Vegas. Lucas, Jane, Darin, Rajnish, and Sergey will be at the booth at various points during the exhibit hours showing off our products and answering questions that anyone may have about us and our products.
We’re also doing something new at the show this year, we’re holding a raffle for some nice prizes to be given away on Wednesday before the end of the expo show. We’ve got 6 iPods to give away and each winner also gets a free copy of Data Dynamics Reports due to a misunderstanding the additional 6 copies of DDR were given away at the keynote, our bad.
If you’ll be at the show, head on over to the booth and sign up!
Data Dynamics Analysis beta released
I’m way late in posting this. Last Saturday I assisted Luc with getting out the beta for Data Dynamics Analysis. Analysis is the latest in a line of Business Intelligence components that Data Dynamics is creating. Analysis will allow end-users to explore the data within a database, OLAP cube, or dataset and uncover the hidden gems to answer the questions they need to run their business.
The powerful combination of a pivot table with chart analysis allows users to quickly grasp the data they are seeing while the intuitive drag and drop environment allows users to easily create views that answer their questions.
I hope everyone can get a chance to check out the product, it really is an innovative control.
Tulsa TechFest wrap-up
The last time I posted I laid out my traveling woes, now that I’ve had time to catch up I thought I should post about the TechFest itself.
