DelimiterChars: String;
The DelimiterChars property determines a list of attributes separators.
This property is taken into account if the ICubeMetaLoaderBindingParser.ParserType value is CubeMetaLoaderParserType.Delimited.
Executing the example requires a time series database with the OBJ_FC identifier and the time series export file C:\Delimited.xlsx. Also, the repository must contain an MDM repository with the MDM_REPO identifier. This repository should have dictionaries with the DICT_CTR, DICT_IND and UNITS identifiers. The COUNTRY attribute of the time series database refers to the DICT_CTR dictionary, the INDICATOR attribute is a link to the DICT_IND dictionary, and measurement units refer to the UNITS dictionary.

After executing the example factors are exported from the C:\Delimited.xlsx file. Attributes are recognized from the list with separators.
