Description

HsAlias displays the alias of the specified dimension member.

Note:

Function nesting is not supported for HsAlias. That is, HsAlias output cannot be referenced in another HsAlias function.

Syntax

HsAlias("PrivateConnectionName","Dimension#Member", "OutputAliasTable", "MemberNameFromAliasTable", "FlagToReturnDistinctName")

Note:

For detailed syntax information, see Syntax Guidelines.

Notes

• The connection and Dimension#Member parameters are required.

• The OutputAliasTable parameter is optional. If OutputAliasTable is empty, then the connection level alias will be used for OutputAliasTable.

• It is optional to specify which alias table the member is from. If MemberNameFromAliasTable is empty, then the original member name from the outline will be used.

• If the member name is not found in the alias table specified in MemberNameFromAliasTable, then the original member name from the outline will be used.

• The HsActive keyword within the HsAlias function can only be used on a sheet with an ad hoc grid.

• Copy and Paste either from Smart View or Excel is not supported. Only static text will be pasted.

• The Boolean argument, FlagToReturnDistinctName, determines if the alias output is a short name or fully qualified name. The default is False.

Example

HsAlias("MyVision","Scenario#Actual", "German", "Default", "True")
