Dimension Editor - Data View
Use this tool to browse a shared dimension's members, member properties, and custom member formulas. You can also examine and edit the structure of all types of shared dimensions, including parent-child and virtual dimensions, and their levels. You can also use Dimension Editor and connected dialog boxes to perform various procedures with shared dimensions.
