CREATESLICELISTS

Creates an array of lists from an array of hierarchies. This is the first step in manually creating an XML variable to define a slice.

See Slices.

CREATSLICELISTS requires an XML definition for each hierarchy. Use SETPROPERTY, for example, to populate a report variable for each hierarchy.

See SETPROPERTY.

You use the result of this function as an argument of the CREATSLICELISTSEGMENT function.

Syntax

=CREATESLICELISTS("Array of hierarchies", "Array of MDX")

The function returns #{List} for each hierarchy in the array.

Example

=CREATSLICELISTS(D13:D16,E13:E16)

In this example, the array of hierarchies is in cells D13:D16 and the array of MDX is in E13:E16. Each cell contains the unique name of a hierarchy.

This table gives an example:
D E
13 [product] {[product].defaultmember}
14 [period] {[period].defaultmember}
15 [region] {[region].defaultmember}
16 [measure] {[measure].defaultmember}
