Dimension Groupings

The group dimension section sets the point of view for the load data that is contained in the data section. For the Period dimension, you can specify one or a range of periods. You must define one member only for all other dimensions that are specified in the group dimension section.

For example, you could use the following section to specify a range of periods from January to March:

!Period = January...March

You can specify groupings for dimensions as many times as necessary throughout the data file. However, they must agree with the respective column order sequence. Each subsequent occurrence of a grouping overrides the previous grouping.
