Calculation Tools (Calculations Tab, Cube Designer) (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data)

Use the Calculation Tools pane on the Calculations tab in Cube Designer to explore metadata, functions, and templates available for use in calculations.

Options

  • Metadata
    Displays the metadata for the selected cube.

    Drag a selected element to the Script Editor, Calculated Member Form Editor, or Named Set Form Editor pane to include the Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) syntax for that element at the selected location in the pane.

  • Functions
    Displays the functions available for expressions and conditions.

    Drag a selected element to the Script Editor, Calculated Member Form Editor, or Named Set Form Editor pane to include the MDX syntax for that element at the selected location in the pane.

    Note

    In project mode, the Calculation Tools dialog box reads information for this option from an XML file named MDXFunctions.xml, included with Business Intelligence Development Studio. In online mode, information for this option is retrieved from the MDSCHEMA_FUNCTIONS schema rowset for the instance.

  • Templates
    Displays the predefined templates available for calculated members, named sets, and script commands.

    Drag a selected element to the Script Editor, Calculated Member Form Editor, or Named Set Form Editor pane to include the MDX syntax for that element at the selected location in the pane.

    Select to copy the selected element in Metadata or Functions to the Clipboard.

    Note

    This option is not displayed if Templates is selected.

    This option is disabled if the selected member cannot be copied, such as the Sets folder of a dimension displayed in Metadata or the function group folder for a function displayed in Functions.

  • Filter Members
    Select to display the Filter Members dialog box and filter members displayed for the selected element in Metadata. For more information about the Filter Members dialog box, see Filter Members Dialog Box (Analysis Services - Multidimensional Data).

    This option is enabled only if a level for an attribute is selected in Metadata.
