Input Data Cubes

Input data cubes receive their data from either the end user in the application or tables and views in the database. Input data cubes can exist in all types of cube collections, although they do not serve a purpose in intermediate/calculation cube collections. Use the INPUT built-in function to work with input cube data.

Note:

Even though an input cube that uses either the INPUT built-in function is considered to be a type of calculation data cube, it would not serve a purpose in an intermediate/calculation cube collection.
