Specifying other types of tables and
columns
In the previous section you marked the DimDate table as a date table. There are oth-
er options that you can specify on tables and columns to control the behavior when
using special types of reporting tools.
These options canbefound underthecolumnproperties inthe Reporting Properties
section; there you have the Data Category property that allows you to specify how
the column will be treated.
Power View is one tool that checks this property when you create reports, as an ex-
ample when you add a column with the category of ImageUrl , it automatically fol-
lows the URL and displays the image in the report instead of showing the URL as a
text string.
