Controlling Dimensions

If the cube contains parametric dimensions, one can set up control over parameters of these dimensions via the cube dimensions. Values of specific attributes should be passed as parameter values.

TIP. If a cube is used as an indicator in a data entry form, it has parametric dimensions and it is required to control these dimensions using other cube dimensions, use this setting for the cube.

All parametric dimensions are displayed on the Controlling Dimensions page.

To set up a controlling dimension:

The Control Parameter Properties dialog box opens:

Determine the parameters:

Clicking the Clear button clears controlling dimension and expression for the selected controlled parameter.

Manage source cube parameters

Formulas can be set up using the expression editor:

The expression editor window for setting up a controlling dimension of calculated cube in the web application looks as follows:

Create a formula, by which a dimension parameter value will be calculated.

Operands, arithmetic operations, functions, numbers, comparison characters and round brackets can be used in a formula. There are some features of use:
