Calculated Members

Calculated Members

At the bottom of the Dimensions section, the Model Contents pane shows any special dimensions that contain calculated members. These special dimensions include only members, not hierarchies or levels. For example:

Calculated members are typically combinations of other members. For example, the Primary Colors member is a combination of the Red, Yellow, and Blue members of the Favorite Color level.

Other dimensions in your model might also include calculated members. If so, the member is displayed in that dimension with a different icon than other members. For example, if we redefined the two calculated members to move them to the ColorD dimension, we would see the following for that dimension:

Unlike most other elements in the Dimensions section, calculated members can be defined in the Analyzer; see Defining Calculated Elements.
