Entering Variable Values for a Cross Dimension Variable

A cross dimension variable is a Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle General Ledger, or Oracle Essbase replacement variable. It contains a member from multiple dimensions that enables you to launch business rules across dimensions.

To enter values for a cross dimension variable:

1. From Type, select Cross Dimension.
2. Optional: For each dimension in the table for which you want to select limits for the variable, click in the limit field and enter a limit. (The dimensions that display are the dimensions that belong to the application for which you are creating the variable.)

   Note:

   You must select RTP before you enter text in the Limits field.

3. Enter or use the Member Selector to select a value for the variable. You can select a member or a function.

   Note:

   You may use a function, but the function must return a single member from the dimension to be a valid selection.

4. Select RIP if the variable has a runtime prompt.

   If you do not select RTP, you must enter a value for the variable.

   A function can be used, but the function must return a single member from the dimension to be a valid selection.
