Changing the Member Names of the Attribute Calculations Dimension

To avoid duplicating names in an outline, you may need to change the name of the Attribute Calculations dimension or its members.

Sum, Count, Min, Max, and Avg—the names of the members that Essbase creates in the Attribute Calculations dimension—are not considered reserved words because you can change these names in the Attribute Calculations dimension and then use the default name in an attribute or standard dimension. Follow these guidelines:

Regardless of the name that you use for a Attribute Calculations dimension member, its function remains the same. For example, Count, the second member, always counts.
