Data cells can store and display text and dates as data in specific Measure members that have been defined in the outline.Essbase Report Scripts allow for the query and display of these Measure types.
If a Text or Date measure exists in a Filter, multiple selections are disabled.
If a Text or Date measure is selected in a Page, Analysis Tools cannot be rendered or applied; only formatting can be applied (but not conditional formatting).
Analysis Tools, where the context (selected member in row or column) is a Text or Date Measure, no Analysis Tools can be created except for Formatting.
Analysis Tools, where the selected members are a Text or Date Measure (for example, column of Year dimensions is AT context, date measures in rows), Sort and Top/Bottom will render based on what Essbase returns. Other Analysis Tools will not be applied, except for Formatting.
