The following example shows the complete code for creating the OLAPDataGrid control that appears in the section About OLAP data grids. This example aggregates product sales by quarter. The example uses flat data from the dataIntro.as file, which contains sales records in the following format:

data:Object = {
    customer:"AAA", 
    product:"ColdFusion",
    quarter:"Q1"
    revenue: "100.00" 
}

The following code implements this example:
