Default Dynamic calculated member names - 02-23-2004 , 06:21 AM






Hi

I would like to provide a cube to e.g. Excel users where I create calculated members that contain the previous year's sales and the year before that. So the Time dimension may logically contain a calculated member called "Previous Year" and "The year before the previous year". Is there a mechansim by which the name of the member (or at least it's display name) can be calculated at run time so that the display name will change as the year roll over

Cheer

Ken
