Note:
In Financial Management, aliases are called "descriptions."
Aliases are alternate names for database member names. Database member names are often stock numbers or product codes; their aliases can be more descriptive. For example, in the Sample Basic database, the alias name for the database member 100 is Colas. Aliases are stored in alias tables as part of a database. Dimensions can be associated with multiple alias tables.
You can select an alias table for the current worksheet or for a connection.
