Example: Unselected Members are Valid

In the following example, two intersection groups are valid. In one group, the anchor dimension unselected members are invalid (this option is cleared). In the other group, the anchor dimension unselected members are valid (this option is selected).

Table 16-5 Example - Unselected Members are Valid

Valid Intersection Group Anchor Dimension - Account Nonanchor Dimension - Entity
1 IDESC(BS - Balance Sheet) - Unselected members are invalid 000 - No Department
2 IDESC(GP - Gross Profit) - Unselected members are valid IDESC(403 - Sales)

Because Group 1 defines all unselected members are invalid, the system marks noninclusive descendants of Balance Sheet invalid. Gross Profit is not an inclusive descendant of Balance Sheet. So even though Group 2 explicitly states inclusive descendants of Gross Profit are valid with inclusive descendants Sales entities, the invalid definition from Group 1 overrides any further valid intersections of the same anchor dimension member set.
