Using the network visualization
The new network visualization is useful to detect a relationship between two attributes, or the lack thereof. It shows circles (or nodes) representing elements of the attributes and lines (or edges) connecting elements to each other depending on the value of a metric.
To make an example we will review the connection between employees and products in our ResellerSales cube; this will give us an idea of which type of product each employee sells. To do that, we can use the Employee and Product Subcategory attributes and associate them with the Sum OrderQuantity from FactResellerSales metric.
