LookupFields: String;
The LookupFields property determines a list of fields, by which child elements are searched.
These fields must contain values that correspond to parent elements, which values are contained in the KeyFields fields. Fields in the list are separated with semicolon (;).
Executing the example requires that the repository contains a database with the MDBD identifier and two standard cubes CUBE_INPUT and CUBE_OUTPUT. These cubes are based on tables stored in this database. Each cube contains two dimensions: 1) Calendar dimension - fixed; 2) Dimension based on table dictionary - by the elements of this dimension summation is set up.

After executing the example the Multidimensional Calculation on DB Server object is created in the repository root. One source cube and one destination cube are set, a new formulas table is created. Calendar dimensions of cubes are fixed and mapped with each other. It is possible to set up summation by child elements in formulas for the elements of the second source dimension. Parent elements are selected by values of the Id field of the data source linked to the second dimension of the data source. Appropriate child elements are searched by values of parent elements contained in the PARENTID field.
