Library Registrations

You can register files that contain functions to be used in Multidimensional Expressions (MDX). This is accomplished in Analysis Manager by using the Register Function Libraries dialog box. This dialog box is displayed by clicking Register in any of the following tools:

  • MDX Builder

  • Calculated Member Builder

  • Named Set Builder

A command for a library registration includes the USE LIBRARY statement, which is created automatically if you register the library in the Register Function Libraries dialog box.

Note  It is not necessary to register the Analysis Services function library, Microsoft® Excel worksheet function library, or Microsoft Visual Basic® for Applications Expression Services function library. These function libraries are registered automatically. However, the Microsoft Excel worksheet function library must be installed separately from Analysis Services to be registered.
