Add members:

  Child members inherit the dimension properties of the parent member.

- To add years to the calendar, select the Year dimension, click Actions, and then click Add Years. Enter the number of years to add, click Apply, and then confirm whether to add the years to the end of the calendar. Click Yes to add years after the End year. Click No to add years before the Start year.
- To add an All Years parent member that includes all members of the Year dimension, select the Year dimension, click Actions, and then click Add All Years.
  
  The All Years parent member enables users to view the accumulated data across multiple years, for example, a project's total cost up to its end date. The All Years member doesn't include the No Year member, if one is defined for the application.
