IBasicMatrixAggregator.ExecuteWithAggregationInfo

Syntax

ExecuteWithAggregationInfo(DimIndex: Integer; Source: IMatrix; Filter: IDimSelectionSet): IMatrixWithAggregationInfo;

Parameters

DimIndex. Index of the dimension, by which elements aggregation is executed.

Source. Matrix with source data, based on which aggregation is executed.

Filter. Dimension selection, according to which aggregation is executed.

Description

The ExecuteWithAggregationInfo method calculates aggregated data and allows for getting information about aggregation execution result.

Example

Executing the example requires that repository contains a standard cube with the CUBE identifier. The cube should contain at least two dimensions. The first dimension - MDM dictionary containing with hierarchical element structure and two levels. Cube facts should be added locally without the use of existing dictionary.

Add links to the Cubes, Dimensions, Matrix, Metabase system assemblies.

After executing the operations a cube data aggregator is created. Aggregation will be executed by elements from the second to the first dimension level with the use of the Sum method for calculating basic aggregation mechanism. After the setup is complete, aggregated data is calculated. Source data and aggregated data will be displayed in the console. For example:

Cube dimensions:

- Facts

- Dictionary 1

- Dictionary 2

Aggregation parameters are set up for the dimension: Dictionary 1

Source data:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 1 1 1 1 1

Aggregated data:

3 2 6 5 9 8

Number of aggregated elements: 6
