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:
If the outline is tagged as a duplicate member outline, you can use the default names to name other base or attribute members.
If the outline is tagged as a unique member outline, you should avoid using Sum, Count, Min, Max, and Avg as member names. For example, if you use Max in a standard dimension and then create an attribute dimension, in which Essbase creates the Max member in the Attribute Calculations dimension, Essbase detects a duplicate name and returns an error message indicating the name is already in use.
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.
