Dimmension Groups

Postby gumiz » Fri Sep 21, 2007 6:18 am

Hi,
when u click on an active dimmension you can make a group (Add group to hierarchy - or sth like that). For example:
You have dimmension Countries:
- Poland,
- England,
- Canada,
- USA,
And wants to make two groups:
-Europe countries (Poland, England)
-Other countries (Canada, USA)
-Favourite countries (Poland, Canada),
Is it possible? Can u place one dimmension in 2 different groups?
If it isn't possible with those groups can I make it in any other way?

Sorry, but currently it is impossible. It may produce overall incostistence with data - for example you have 10000 as total value, but your dimension items show you 15000 if you sum them just by hands.
It will seens like corrupt data.
Best regards,

I know it would make some incorrect sums, but i was hoping it is possible :(
For example with a flag LookOutDangerCUBE set to TRUE :)
It would be a great help form me, because i dont think it is possible to achive it in any other way :(

thx for reply.

You may try to make a trick - add new group to dimension and replace new item ID to ID of another item in hierarchy.
