Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains an express report with the EXPRESS identifier.

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

Sub UserProc;
Var
    Metabase: IMetabase;
    Analyzer: IEaxAnalyzer;
    Pivot: IPivot;
    PivotDim: IPivotDimension;
    Namings: IPivotDimNamings;
    CustomNaming: IPivotCustomDimNaming;
Begin
    Metabase := MetabaseClass.Active;
    Analyzer := Metabase.ItemById("EXPRESS").Bind As IEaxAnalyzer;
    // Get express report table:
    Pivot := Analyzer.Pivot;
    // Consider dimension:
    PivotDim := Pivot.Dimensions.Item(3);
    // Collection of dimension names:
    Namings := PivotDim.Namings;
    // Set up custom names and output results:
    CustomNaming := Namings.CustomNaming;
    CustomNaming.Enabled := True;
    CustomNaming.Expression := "%ID% - %NAME%";
    Debug.WriteLine("Name of selected dimension: " + CustomNaming.Dimension.Name);
    Debug.WriteLine("Assigned custom name of the first element: " + CustomNaming.ElementName(0));
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the console window displays:
