Physical - Calculated If a level is disabled in each of the component cubes, the level is hidden in the virtual cube Calculated Members Unique IDs and Names for Calculated Members Required Apply a Calculated Member to a Specific Physical Cube, or a Virtual Cube MDX is Not Validated in the Worksheet Advanced Sheets Worksheets for Advanced Functionality Named Sets Actions Calculated Cells Validate Syntax Before Adding to Worksheet Mappings You use this sheet to: Map Default Values to Renamed Components Remove Default Values for Deleted Components Analytics Builder uses this sheet to: Build XML Mapping for Client Generators
