Configuring a range dimension value

You must set upper and lower bounds for a range dimension value.

Dimensions that use ranges are very similar in structure to ordinary dimensions. The dimension root and dimension hierarchy are created using the same basic process. The difference is in the configuration of the dimension values, which have a type of Range (as opposed to Exact) and require lower and upper bounds.

To set the bounds for a range dimension value:

In the Dimension Value editor, double-click the dimension value you want to change to open it in the Dimension editor.
From the Type list, choose Range.
From the Bound Type list, choose the appropriate data type:
- Floating point
- Integer
- String
In the Lower Bound text box, enter the lower number in the range. If you want the range to include the value you enter, check Include Value in Range.
In the Upper Bound text box, enter the higher number in the range. If you want the range to include the value you enter, check Include Value in Range.
If necessary, configure the range dimension value's synonyms.
If necessary, add properties to the dimension value.
Click OK to close the Dimension editor.

Important: Overlap in range values and misaligned ranges in concept hierarchies are not validated by the MDEX Engine. It is your responsibility to correctly configure range dimensions.
