Selecting Substitution Variables

Substitution variables are predefined variables, used for frequently changing information, created using Analytic Services, and identified by variable names.

Substitution variables simplify document maintenance, enabling fluctuating values to be adjusted centrally (in Analytic Services) and to be referenced dynamically (by Web Analysis documents).

  To use a substitution variable in a Dimension Browser member selection:
