AGG
The AGG calculation command consolidates Essbase database values. This command ignores all member formulas, consolidating only parent/child relationships.
The AGG command performs a limited set of high-speed consolidations. Although AGG is faster than the CALC commands when calculating sparse dimensions, it cannot calculate formulas; it can only perform aggregations based on the database structure. AGG aggregates a list of sparse dimensions based on the hierarchy defined in the database outline. If a member has a formula, it is ignored, and the result does not match the relationship defined by the database outline.
If you want to aggregate a dimension that contains formulas:
-
Calculate any members that are "leaf" members (that is, level 0).
-
Aggregate the dimension, using the AGG command.
-
Calculate all other members with formulas that have not been calculated yet.
Syntax
AGG (dimList);Notes
-
AGG only works with sparse dimensions.
-
When a dimension contains fewer than six consolidation levels, AGG is typically faster than CALC. Conversely, the CALC command is usually faster on dimensions with six or more levels.
-
AGG follows the rules for any defined FIX command.
