Creating Calendar Hierarchies

The Edit Calendar Hierarchy dialog box provides a way to build a time dimension modeled on a standard corporate calendar. You can build a time dimension based on a standard (Gregorian) calendar, an industry-specific calendar, or a customized version of one.

Note:

Varying attributes are not supported in calendar hierarchies.

For each calendar type, Essbase Studio provides a list of time-period definitions from which to choose, such as year, semester, and quarter.

Essbase Studio supports hierarchies for the following calendar types:

Note:

When you use a calendar hierarchy to build a cube schema and Essbase model, you must specify a default data load binding for the lowest level in the calendar hierarchy at cube schema creation time. See Defining Data Load Mappings for more information.
