Description

The CalcCubeFormulaEdit component is a calculated cube formula editor.

Working with the Component

To work with the component, in the Cube property set the calculated cube, which coordinates are used to create expressions. Further work on creating an expression is similar to the work with the TermEdit component expression.

The  PutCoord method enables the user to create a term corresponding to the specified cube coordinate and add it to expression. Text of this term is composed of the dimension elements names, which correspond to the coordinate, term formula corresponds to the internal view of the corresponding coordinate. The end expression, which can be used as a formula of a calculated cube, is available in the Formula property.

NOTE. The CalcCubeFormulaEdit component and the CalcCubeFormulaEditEx component differ in their internal implementation.
