On the left side, you can select a semantic view you would like to query. Inside the semantic view, you can see the measures and dimensions grouped either by cubes or folders. You can search within your semantic view to find the relevant member.

Filtering

Dimensions and measures can be added as filters to focus on specific rows of data.

Pivoting

You can add dimensions to the pivot by right-clicking on the left pane or in the results header. Note that chart tables are different from results tables. You can configure pivots in chart tables separately.

Limiting

By default, queries are limited to 5,000 rows of data, but the limit can be adjusted up to 50,000.

Sorting

You can sort query results using drop-down menus on column headers in the results table or the dedicated sorting control.

Column headers

Hover over a column header in the results table and expand the context menu to sort ascending, sort descending, or clear sorting. If a column has sorting applied, a chevron icon on the header indicates the current sorting direction.

Sorting control

The sorting control, available via the Sort button, lists all query members and their current state: unsorted, sorted ascending, or sorted descending. Use it to apply or change the sort order for any member. Drag and drop members within the sorting control to change their priority in the sort order.
When a pivot is applied, an additional section with pivot dimensions appears.

Advanced semantic queries

Advanced semantic queries typically can contain CTEs (Common Table Expressions) and unions, and can contain multiple semantic views. In many cases for advanced semantic queries, the interactive components of the UI would be disabled—not the whole UI—as these complex queries require manual SQL editing.
Currently, advanced semantic queries can be placed on dashboards, but dashboard filters cannot be applied to advanced semantic queries.
