Define Aliases


By clicking Next you will be directed to the Define Aliases dialog box.

The Define Aliases dialog box allows you to create Alias Groups from fields within the relational table for the Members in this Dimension. (The meaning and use of Aliases and Properties, which follows, are discussed in the manual, PowerOLAP® User Manual.)

 

Important


Aliases must be unique within a Dimension—i.e., the selected Alias field must have unique values for each record. In addition, an Alias name for a Member cannot be the same name as a different Member in the Dimension.

 

For present purposes, we will not create an Alias Group for Products, though we will demonstrate Defining Aliases for the 3rd Dimension (Customers).
