Developing Formulas on Aggregate Storage Outlines

Formulas calculate relationships between members in a database outline. If you are familiar with using formulas on block storage outlines, consider the following differences when using formulas on aggregate storage outlines:

The current chapter concentrates on using MDX to write formulas on aggregate storage databases. For information about using MDX to write queries, see Writing MDX Queries. For information about writing formulas for block storage outlines, see Developing Formulas for Block Storage Databases. Also see the MDX section of the Oracle Essbase Technical Reference.
