Selecting an Alias Table for the Current Worksheet

The alias table selected here applies only to the current worksheet and not to future connections.

To select an alias table for the current worksheet:

  1. From a worksheet, connect to a data source.
  2. From the Essbase or ad hoc ribbon, select Change Alias to display a list of available alias tables.
  3. Select an alias table for the worksheet.

    The new alias table is applied automatically.

    Note:

    Planning, Financial Consolidation and Close, Tax Reporting: In Native mode, if the floating toolbar had been displayed and then repositioned on the sheet, the position will change after applying the new alias table. If needed, you can reposition the floating toolbar again. (Native mode means that the Smart View Ad Hoc Behavior option for your application is set to Native.)
