Remarks
The OrdinalPosition property for a level determines the relative position of the level in the dimension hierarchy: A value of 1 defines the most aggregated level, and the maximum value defines the most detailed level. Decision Support Objects (DSO) sets the value of this property when you add the level to a dimension.
The following table shows an example of relative ordinal positions.
| Level | Ordinal position |
|---|---|
| All | 1 |
| Yearly | 2 |
| Quarterly | 3 |
| Weekly | 4 |
| Daily | 5 |
Example
Use the following code to return the ordinal position of a level object:
' Assume an object (dsoLev) of ClassType clsLevel exists
If dsoLev.OrdinalPosition = 1 Then
'Code to handle top level
Else
'Code to handle remaining levels
End If
