Creating and Maintaining Named Sets in Virtual Cubes

You can both import named sets into virtual cubes from their component cubes and create new named sets directly in virtual cubes. You can use Named Set Builder to create and edit named sets in virtual cubes.

Use Virtual Cube Editor to maintain the named sets in a virtual cube. Virtual Cube Editor provides single-click access to Named Set Builder and the Import Named Sets dialog box, which is used to import named sets into virtual cubes.

Note  Virtual Cube Editor is used for maintaining named sets in virtual cubes only. To maintain named sets in regular cubes, use Cube Editor, from which you can access Named Set Builder.

For more information, see Virtual Cube Editor.
