  • Article

Use the Calculations tab in Cube Designer to view and edit calculations, including calculated members, named sets, and Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) script commands for the selected cube.

Form View and Script View

The Calculations tab supports two different views when viewing or editing calculations:

  • Form view

    This view displays an organized view of the calculated members, named sets, and script commands contained in the MDX script associated with the cube and provides form editors to view and edit calculated members and named sets, as well as displaying the metadata, functions, and tools available to the cube.

  • Script view

    For advanced users, this view displays the entire MDX script associated with the cube, as well as displaying the metadata, functions, and tools available to the cube.
