Set Advanced Cube Properties

If the current cube is a block storage cube, then you can select whether to aggregate missing values, create blocks on equations, or enable two-pass calculation in Advanced Cube Properties.

  • Aggregate missing values: If you never load data at parent levels, selecting this option may improve calculation performance. If this option is selected and you load data at the parent level, then the parent-level values are replaced by the results of the cube consolidation, even if the results are #MISSING values.
  • Create blocks on equations: If this option is selected, then when you assign a non-constant value to a member combination for which no data block exists, a data block is created.

    Selecting this option can produce a very large cube.

  • Two-Pass calculation: If this option is selected, then after a default calculation, members that are tagged as two-pass are recalculated.
