Syntax

'Declaration
<BrowsableAttribute(False)> _
<XmlIgnoreAttribute> _
Public ReadOnly Property DependsOnDimension As Dimension

[BrowsableAttribute(false)] 
[XmlIgnoreAttribute] 
public Dimension DependsOnDimension { get; }

[BrowsableAttribute(false)]

public:
property Dimension^ DependsOnDimension {

public Dimension get_DependsOnDimension ()

public function get DependsOnDimension () : Dimension

Remarks

If a dimension A has a strong correlation to dimension B, then you should set A “depends on” B. This way, the aggregation design algorithm won’t consider both as mutually independent dimensions. For example, Fiscal Time is dependent on Calendar Time.
