Enter Variable Values for a Member Variable

The member variable is an Essbase replacement variable. The variable contains a member from a dimension that you select.

To enter values for a member variable:

1. In the System View, select Tools, Variables.

2. In the Variable Navigator, expand the Essbase application type.

3. Do one of these tasks:

   • Right-click an application and select New to create a variable that can be used in that application only.

   • Right-click a database and select New to create a variable that can be used in that database only.

   • Right-click a rule and select New to create a variable that can be used in that rule only.

4. For Type, select Member.

   Note: The Members type isn't supported in Oracle General Ledger.

5. In the Value table, select a dimension. The dimensions that display are the dimensions that belong to the application for which you're creating the variable.

6. Enter or use the Member Selector to select limits for the variable. You can select members only from the dimension that you selected in the previous step. You can also select functions.

7. Enter or use the Member Selector to select a default value for the variable. You can select one member or function for a member variable.

8. Select File, Save.
