To expand a parent member to see its child members, click the expansion icon to the right of the parent member name. Clicking the expansion icon will not select the parent member.
To clear selections you have made, click
and then select Clear Selection.
At times, you may find that a point of view and page axis member you want to select is suppressed. This occurs because a dimension selection in the point of view and page axis has invalidated other dimensions due to valid intersections that were applied. To resolve this issue, use the Clear Selection option to clear the Point of View and page axis members you previously selected. Then you can use the Point of View and page axis again to select members that were previously suppressed.
To show all the members that are suppressed due to valid intersection rules, click
and then select Show Invalid Members. Invalid members are displayed but are unavailable for selection.
