Example
In the Sample Basic database,
@REMOVE(@CHILDREN(East),@LIST("New York",Connecticut))
returns Massachusetts, Florida, New Hampshire.
The following example is based on the Sample Basic database. Assume that the Market dimension contains an additional member, Non-West.
A special analysis requires a sum of the actual sales values of a particular product family for non-western states. In this example, the @REMOVE function is used with the @SUMRANGE function to perform this analysis. The @LIST function is used to group the last two arguments of the @REMOVE function (the children of West plus two additional members, Texas and New Mexico).
FIX(Sales)
"Non-West"=@SUMRANGE(Sales,@REMOVE(@LEVMBRS(Market,0),
@LIST(@CHILDREN(West),Texas,"New Mexico")));
