Dimension Browser
Use this tool to examine a dimension, including its members, member properties, member property values, and custom member formulas. Dimension Browser also permits the update of write-enabled dimensions.
Dimension Browser is displayed when you perform one of the following actions:
- In the Analysis Manager tree pane, right-click a shared dimension or virtual dimension, and then click Browse Dimension Data.
- In the Cube Editor tree pane, right-click a dimension, and then click Browse.
Dimension Browser displays the dimension in a graphical format, allowing you to view a multilevel dimension hierarchy.
Dimension Browser has three areas. For more information about the areas, click a link in the following table.
