Modifying Member Selection Using the Formula Bar

When working with members in a grid, you can use the formula bar to modify the selected members.

The following example shows a textual modification of member selection using the formula bar.

Note:

The entry of member names in the Formula Bar is not case-sensitive.

First, you select the heading cell in the grid. The dimension is displayed in the button on the Formula Bar. Next, you can use the Formula Bar to dynamically enter the member function for the selected dimension.

A member function can be entered dynamically on data heading cells. For more information on member functions and syntax, see Assigning Members Using Functions.
