IEaxDataAreaSliceProperties.UseCustomDimensionNamingAttribute

Syntax

UseCustomDimensionNamingAttribute(DimKey: Integer): Boolean;

Parameters

DimKey. Dimension key.

Description

The UseCustomDimensionNamingAttribute property determines whether custom names will be used for dimension elements.

Comments

Available Values:

True. Custom names will be used for dimension elements.
False. To compose dimension elements names, dictionary attributes will be used.

Example

Executing the example requires an express report with the EXPRESS identifier. The express report contains a data source containing a dimension with the D_TO identifier.

Add links to the Metabase, Express, Pivot, Dimensions system assemblies.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    Express: IEaxAnalyzer;
    SelSet: IDimSelectionSet;
    DimSel: IDimSelection;
    DataArea: IEaxDataArea;
    AreaSlice: IEaxDataAreaSlice;
    Properties: IEaxDataAreaSliceProperties;
    Key: Integer;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Express := MB.ItemById("EXPRESS").Edit As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get selection basing on which table is built
    SelSet := Express.Pivot.Selection;
    DimSel := SelSet.FindById("D_TO");
    // Get analytical data area
    DataArea := Express.DataArea;
    // Get data source slice
    AreaSlice := DataArea.Slices.Item(0);
    // Get properties of data source slice
    Properties := AreaSlice.Properties;
    Key := DimSel.Dimension.Key;
    Properties.UseCustomDimensionNamingAttribute(Key) := True;
    // Save report
    (Express As IMetabaseObject).Save;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example custom names will be used for elements of specified dimension.
