Tags and Operators on Example Measures Dimension

The Measures dimension is the most complex dimension in the TBC outline because it uses both time and accounts data. It also contains formulas and special tags to help Essbase calculate the outline. This topic discusses the formulas and tags that TBC included in the Measures dimension (the dimension tagged as accounts).

Look closely at the Measures dimension tags defined by TBC (in Figure 34, TBC Measures Dimension). Many of the properties of the Measures dimension are discussed in previous topics of this chapter: addition (+), subtraction (–), and no consolidation (~) operators, and accounts and label only tags:
