Figure 162, Attribute Dimensions in Free-Form Grids shows an example of both page region and attribute usage. In this example, Pkg Type (an attribute dimension attached to the base member Product) and Budget are page dimensions. By drilling down on Pkg Type you can do attribute based analysis on measures as it relates to specific Product attributes. This can be further used to create a cross-tab analysis of product SKUs by attribute.
Alternatively, to quickly add attribute dimensions onto a free-form grid, follow the instructions in Inserting Essbase Attribute Dimensions on the Sheet. You can then use the member selection instructions in the Dimensions and Members to select and work with members from the attribute dimensions.
