@SIBLINGS
The @SIBLINGS calculation function for Essbase returns all siblings of the specified member.
Syntax
@SIBLINGS (mbrName)
Notes
This function returns all siblings of the specified member. This function excludes the specified member.
This function can be used as a parameter of another function, where that parameter is a list of members.
Essbase sorts the generated list of members as follows:
-
Left siblings of the member (siblings appearing above the member in the database outline) in descending order
-
Right siblings of the member (siblings appearing below the member in the database outline) in ascending order
Using Sample Basic as an example, if you specify 200-30 for mbrName, Essbase returns 200-20, 200-10, 200-40 (in that order). This order is important to consider when you use this function with certain forecasting and statistical functions.
Example
In the Sample Basic database:
@SIBLINGS (Washington)
Returns Oregon, California, Utah, and Nevada (in that order).
@SIBLINGS(East)
Returns West, South, and Central (in that order).
