@LIST

Creates and distinguishes lists that are processed by functions that require list arguments. @LIST can be used to create expLists, member lists, or rangeLists. @LIST treats a collection of parameters as one entity.

Syntax

@LIST (argument1, argument2, ..., argumentN)

Parameter	Description
argument1, argument2, ..., argumentN	The list of arguments that are collected and treated as one argument so they can be processed by the parent function. Arguments can be member names, member combinations, member set functions, range functions, and numeric expressions.

Notes

@LIST does not check for or eliminate duplicates.

Example

The following example is based on the Sample Basic database. Assume that the Year dimension contains an additional member, Sales Correl. @LIST is used with the @CORRELATION function to determine the sales relationship between a product's two peak periods (Jan through Mar and Apr through May):

FIX(Sales)
"Sales Correl" = @CORRELATION(SKIPNONE,
  @LIST(Jan,Feb,Mar),@LIST(Apr,May,Jun));
ENDFIX

This example produces the following report:
