As Essbase scans a file, it processes the most recently encountered range first when identifying a range of data values. The example above contains two ranges: Actual and Budget and Sales and COGS. While reading the file from left to right and top to bottom, Essbase encounters the Actual and Budget range first and the Sales and COGS range second. Because the Sales and COGS range is encountered second, Essbase puts data fields in the Sales and COGS part of the database first.
