Using Dynamic Calculations with Standard Procedures

Using dynamic calculations with standard Essbase procedures affects these processes:

• Clearing data and data blocks

  The CLEARDATA command has no effect on data values for Dynamic Calc members.

• Copying data

  You cannot copy data to a dynamically calculated data value. You cannot specify a Dynamic Calc member as the target for the DATACOPY calculation command.

• Loading data

  When you load data, Essbase does not load data into member combinations that contain a Dynamic Calc member. Essbase skips these members during data load and does not display an error message.

• Exporting data

  Essbase does not calculate dynamically calculated values before exporting data. Essbase does not export values for Dynamic Calc members.

• Including dynamic members in calculation scripts

  When calculating a database, Essbase skips the calculation of any Dynamic Calc members. Essbase displays an error message if you attempt to do a member calculation of a Dynamic Calc member in a calculation script. See Calculation Scripts and Dynamic Calculation.
