Uniquely Identifying a Cell of Data in a Multidimensional Object

---

You can uniquely and completely select any item of data within a multidimensional variable by using a qualified data reference (QDR) to specify one value from each of the dimensions of the variable. (See "Specifying a Single Data Value in an Expression" for more information on QDRs.)

For example, when the opcosts variable is dimensioned by month and city, specifying Jan02 for the month dimension and Boston for the city dimension uniquely specifies a single cell in the variable.
