B. Adding a Column to a Mining Model and Setting the Column Description Property

The following example creates a new column in the mining model and sets a number of properties, including the Description property:

'------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Add a new column to the mining model called Gender and relate this
' column to the Gender member property of the Name level of the
' Customers dimension. Declare that the data in this column is
' statistically discrete.

' Assume the existence of a DSO Level object, dsoLv.
'------------------------------------------------------------------------
    'Add another column to the model.
    Set dsoColumn = dsoDmm.Columns.AddNew("Gender")
    'Identify the member property of the Customers dimension
    'that this column is based on.
    'Set the column's description for browsers of the schema.
    Set dsoColumn.Description = "Based on the Gender member property " & _
      "of the Name level of the Customers dimension."
    Set dsoColumn.SourceOlapObject = dsoLvl.MemberProperties("Gender")
    'Identify its type.
    dsoColumn.DataType = adWChar
    'Make this column related to the Customer Id column.
    dsoColumn.RelatedColumn = "Customer Id"
    'Identify this column as containing discrete data.
    dsoColumn.ContentType = "DISCRETE"
