Retrieving the Parent Value of Dynamically Calculated Child Values

If you retrieve a parent value that is calculated from Dynamic Calc or Dynamic Calc and Store child members, Essbase must dynamically calculate the child member combinations before calculating the parent value. Essbase does not store the child values, even if they are Dynamic Calc and Store members.

For example, assume that Market is a parent member and that East and West are Dynamic Calc and Store child members that consolidate up to Market. When you retrieve a data value for Market, Essbase calculates East and West, even though you have not specifically retrieved them. However, Essbase does not store the values of East or West.
