ICubeExecuteDimSetup.Extension

Syntax

Extension: Object;

Description

The Extension property returns additional settings that will be used on cube calculation.

Comments

In the current implementation the property returns additional settings for ADOMD cube dimensions. Cast value of this property to the IAdoMdExecuteDimSetup interface to specify additional settings.

Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an ADOMD catalog with the ADOMDTest identifier, this catalog contains the SALES ADOMD cube. The cube structure must have dimensions based on ADOMD dictionaries with the DATE and COUNTRY identifiers.

    MB: IMetabase;

    Dest := CubeInst.Destinations.DefaultDestination;
    SelSet := Dest.CreateDimSelectionSet;
    //Set selections
    For Each Sel In SelSet Do
        If Sel.Dimension.Ident = "COUNTRY" Then
            DimSetup := CubeClass.SelectionSetup(Sel);
            If DimSetup <> Null Then
                DimSetup.GroupIndex := 2;
            End If;
            //Create a calculated element
            Calcs := (DimSetup.Extension As IAdoMdExecuteDimSetup).Calculations;
            Calc := Calcs.Add("");
            Calc.Element(Sel.Dimension) := Sel.LastDimElement;
            Calc.Expression := "SUM([DATE].[Year].Children)";
            //Full selection
            Sel.SelectAll;
        Elseif Sel.Dimension.Ident = "DATE" Then
            Sel.SelectElement(1, False);
            DimSetup := CubeClass.SelectionSetup(Sel);
            If DimSetup <> Null Then
                DimSetup.GroupIndex := 1;
            End If;
        Else
            Sel.SelectElement(1, False);
            DimSetup := CubeClass.SelectionSetup(Sel);
            If DimSetup <> Null Then
                DimSetup.GroupIndex := 0;
            End If;
        End If
    End For;
    //Calculation
    Exec := Dest.CreateExecutor;
    AdoExec := Exec As IAdoMdCubeExecutor;
    Exec.PrepareExecute(SelSet);
    Exec.PerformExecute;
    Mat := Exec.Matrix;
End Sub UserProc;

On executing the example a calculated element is added for the last element in the COUNTRY dimension. After this the cube is calculated, output matrix is available in the Mat variable.
