To import dimension members:

  2. Select a dimension.

  4. Click Browse, and then navigate to the file you want to import.
  5. Select one of the following:

    • Replace—Replace dimension members with the definition in the import file. Replaces the member with the member in the file that you are importing. It does not affect other members that are not specified in the import file.

    • Update—Update some member attributes.

  6. Select a File Delimiter for the import file: Comma or Tab. Comma is selected by default.
  7. Click Import.
  8. The Results screen displays the number of imported dimension members.
  9. Click OK or Reset. The Reset button clears the dialog, and you can select another file to import. The imported members are saved with the import.
