Setting Two-Pass Calculation Properties

The Two-Pass Calculation property indicates which members need to be calculated twice to produce the desired value. To obtain the correct values for two-pass members, Essbase must calculate the outline and then re-calculate the members that are dependent on the calculated values of other members.

Even though two-pass calculation is a property that you can give to any non-attribute dimension member, it works only on members of accounts dimensions, Dynamic Calc members, and Dynamic Calc And Store members. If two-pass calculation is assigned to any other member, Essbase ignores it.

Note:

Two-pass calculation does not apply to aggregate storage outlines.

  To set a member to be calculated on the second pass through an outline:

  1. Open the outline in edit mode.

  2. Right-click the dimension or member and select Edit member properties.

  3. In the Member Properties window, select the Information tab.

  4. From the Two-Pass calculation drop-down list, select true or false.

  5. Click OK.
