Ignoring Strings

You can ignore any field in the data source that matches a string, called a token. When you ignore fields based on string values, the fields are ignored everywhere they appear in the data source, not just in a particular column. For example, in a data source that is a computer-generated report in text format, special ASCII characters might be used to create horizontal lines between pages or boxes around headings. These special characters can be defined as tokens to be ignored.

  To ignore all instances of a string, see “Ignoring Fields Based on String Matches” in the Oracle Essbase Administration Services Online Help.
